Al Batin form and stats

Al Batin have collected 7 points from their Pro League home games so far after 2-1-3. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Batin to get some points in this home game. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Batin, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The Batin crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Al Ittihad here at Al-Batin FC Stadium in a Pro League match. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Al Shabab (1-3).

The Batin fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 6 matches. Batin's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 7 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
