All in all it has been a very rough period for Bahla who hasn’t won a league-game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Al Suwaiq, 132 days ago.
Bahla's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Oman Club (placed 8th).
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Nizwa (1-2).This is expected to be a close game, with Bahla perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bahla as a small favourite), we find seven games. Bahla has won three of these, drawn two and lost two.
