Muscat form and stats

Muscat's struggle is real here at Royal Oman Police Stadium with only 9 points collected from 11 Professional League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-0-8. It's trouble wherever Muscat are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

Before that game, the home loss against Saham with the scoreline 1-2.

Muscat has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Muscat defense is not exactly impregnable. 18 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Sohar form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sohar so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-4 (win-draw-lose). The Sohar manager is a generous human being, having led his team to four draws in a row during the last 22 days.

Sohar's last game was the home draw against Dhofar (0-0).

A 1-1 draw at Al Nasr's stadium before that.

The attacking power of Sohar when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 10 league matches away. As for defending, Sohar rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 18 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The former H2H meeting ended Sohar - Muscat 3-1, earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the former ten meetings): Muscat won two games, four matches ended with a tie and Sohar have four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four
