Muscat form and stats

5-2-5 (win-draw-lost) are the numbers at home for Muscat so far this season. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Muscat with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Sur game, 63 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Muscat, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Muscat lost their last game at Al Nasr after a 0-1 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Muscat lost 1-2 at home to Al-Nahda.

Muscat are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 14 goals in 12 matches. 13 goals have been conceded.
