National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Nizwa or Mjees that keep their silverware dream alive.
Nizwa and Mjees 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
Nizwa participated in Sultan Cup the last season, where they reached the 8th finals.OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Nizwa's two home games in the Professional League so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Sohar Regional Sports Complex.
No payout for Nizwa in their previous match, an away game at Al Seeb that ended in defeat 0-3.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Professional League game versus Saham in only four days. This game is also played here at Sohar Regional Sports Complex.
Nizwa has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Mjees form and stats
Mjees's mission in Sultan Cup last season failed in the 16th finals.There's been little loot from Mjees's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 14 away games in the Professional League. Mjees only have 2 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 2 draws. Mjees are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Al-Shabab Club fixture. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Mjees's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Al Suwaiq.
Mjees are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 7 goals from 14 away games. Mjees struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 26 goals conceded from these games.
