Muscat form and stats

With 1 Professional League win, 0 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Muscat are certainly not brimming with confidence. Muscat are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Al-Seeb Stadium, having lost their two previous games here.

The home team returns to Al-Seeb Stadium after drawing with Dhofar (placed 2nd) on their last time out; the game ended 1-1.

Preceding that match was the home game against Al Suwaiq that was lost 1-2.

Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 10 goals have been conceded.
