Two travels in a row for Thaid, whose manager could celebrate last time after the Presidents Cup win against Al Fujairah.
A draw for Thaid before that, at their own venue hosting Al Hamriyah (2-2).Goals are few and far between in Thaid's away league games. Only 3 goals from 10 travels. Al Thaid's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 18 goals from these trips.
