Sohar form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Professional League travels is 3 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats.

The followers enjoyed Sohar's previous fixture versus Nizwa (placed 13th), a 5-2 win played at home. As you can tell from the result, the match against Nizwa was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?

Preceding that game was the away victory against Muscat with the score of 1-0.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Sohar manager as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Al-Rustaq.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sohar as they have only managed to score 10 times from 11 away games in the league. As for defending, Sohar rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 18 goals from these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

The latest reported scoreline between these squads is the Sohar - Oman Club 3-0 played earlier this season. Oman Club-Sohar H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Oman Club four wins, Sohar four wins, two draws. seven of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
