Game week two of the Professional League season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Al Oruba - Dhofar preview:
Dhofar could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Professional League game only three sleeps ago.
Dhofar have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Al Oruba form and stats
In their previous game, led his Al Oruba to a defeat in the Professional League match away at Sohar. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Sur Sports Complex. A 3-3 draw away before that, with Mrbat the opponent.
Dhofar form and stats
There were no winners in Dhofar's previous match, a Professional League home game that ended 1-1 vs Fanja (placed 8th). Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Sohar.
Dhofar has another fixture away, a Arab Club Championship game, against MC Alger in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Al Oruba won 5, Dhofar won 1 and 4 draws. 3 games with over 2,5 goals, 7 matches with two goals or less.Al Oruba missing players
