Bahla form and stats

5-3-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Professional League numbers at home for Bahla so far this season. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

The fans are hoping that Bahla will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Professional League game against Al Oruba (placed 13th). Before that, Bahla drew at home versus Fanja.

Bahla are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 11 games. From these home matches, Bahla have conceded only 9 goals.

Mrbat form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Mrbat, who have the most conceded goals (41) in Professional League, so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-7 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Mrbat who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Saham was the last time a defeat was avoided.

A loss against Al Oruba was the result prior to that, in a home game.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Mrbat manager has some worries about the defense as 22 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head
