Sohar and Saham have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Professional League.
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Sohar form and stats
When playing at home in the Professional League, Sohar have managed 4 wins, 4 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 11 games.
Sohar are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 310 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Y. Abdulkarim).
In the match before that, Sohar hosted Al Suwaiq and drew the game 0-0.
Sohar are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 11 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Sohar have conceded only 10 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Saham form and stats
The visitors are W2-D6-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Professional League. Recent form does not give Saham much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Sohar will be a tough nut to crack.
Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Al-Nahda's place.
