Difficult patch hardens into crisis for Brunei Darussalam U17
Seen as a whole, Brunei Darussalam U17's recent form is unforgiving: 5 played, 5 lost.
Having never met, Oman U17 and Brunei Darussalam U17 have no shared record to consult.
Stretching back 5 matches, the scoring run of Oman U17 has become a reliable feature of their form. Last time out the hosts went down 2-1 to Lebanon U17, beaten by the odd goal. Points have been hard to come by for the hosts, with 4 of the last 15 secured.
Little about the 6-1 meeting of Brunei Darussalam U17 and Bahrain U17 could be described as cautious. Still waiting for a shut-out after 5 matches, the visitors have plenty to tighten up at the back. Defending has been a recurring problem for the visitors, who have shipped 13 goals in 2 games this season.
