Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Al Bataeh & Masafi face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Presidents Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Al Bataeh form and stats
Last season, Al Bataeh's Presidents Cup journey ended in the group stage.The home supporters can't complain about results here at Al-Bataeh Club Ground as Al Bataeh have scored 15 goals to get 21 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the Division 1 are 6-3-1 (wins-draws-losses).
The spoils were shared in Al Bataeh's previous game, also at home. Visiting Al Urooba travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Al Arabi and winning 1-0.The Bataeh fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 15 goals in 10 league matches. Bataeh have only conceded 9 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Masafi form and stats
Masafi's mission in Presidents Cup last season failed in the group stage.Masafi have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Division 1, after 3-0-7 (10 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Masafi's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Masafi's last game was the home draw against Dibba Al Hisn (3-3). An off the wall match with heaps of goals last time out for Masafi, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that fun game, will this game be as enjoying?
Prior to that match, the Masafi manager faced defeat when travelling to Emirates and losing 0-6.Masafi have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 10 league away games 11 goals have been scored. The Masafi manager has some worries about the defense as 23 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
