Season ticket holders at Sur Sports Complex haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Al Oruba languishing in the 13th position so far. The guesting Bahla will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Bahla form and stats
There's been little loot from Bahla's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 11 away games in the Professional League. Bahla only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 7 draws. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Bahla are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
There were no winners in Bahla's previous match, a Professional League home game that ended 2-2 vs Fanja (placed 7th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Al Nasr wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
Drawing 2-2 against Fanja after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
Bahla have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 13 goals have been scored. Bahla have conceded 15 goals in these away matches.
