Bahla form and stats

Bahla's results here at Nizwa Sports Complex in the Professional League have been very modest with 2 victories, 3 draws and 6 defeats.

Bahla's last game was hosting Al Nasr (placed 5th) and winning 2-1.

In the game before, an away victory match versus Al Seeb with a 3-2 scoreline.

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

The Bahla fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 11 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded. When Bahla hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Muscat, Nizwa, Al-Ittihad and Saham), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.
