- Nizwa have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.
- Bahla have yet to win a game.
Nizwa and Bahla should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Nizwa form and stats
Overall Professional League stats at home this season for Nizwa are 1-1-1 (wins-draw-losses). Nizwa has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager and the players.
