Al-Rustaq form and stats

4-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Professional League numbers at home for Al-Rustaq so far this season.

The regulars are hoping that Al-Rustaq will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the match against Muscat (placed 10th).

Preceding that match was the home game against Dhofar that was lost 0-1.

The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Oman Club in only four days.

The Al-Rustaq fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. From these home matches, Al-Rustaq have conceded only 6 goals.
