Al Khalidiyah vs East Riffa Prediction: Hosts are in a better shape

Al Khalidiyah and East Riffa are set to face each other at Bahrain National Stadiꦗum in the 11th round of the Bahrain Premier League. Who will emerge victorious in this match?

In their recent league fixture, Al Khalidiya secured a convincing 1-3 victory over Al-Hala, and as they approach this match, the hosts aim to replicate their last successful result. Dominique Mendy played a pivotal role by putting Al Khalidiya ahead in the 31st minute, and a brace from Samy Frioui in the 40th and 48th minute sealed the deal, earning them all three points.

However, it's worth noting that Al Khalidiya has struggled to keep clꦰean sheets in recent times, conceding in 5 of their previous 6 clashes and allowing a total of 6 goals. In the ♊current season, Al Khalidiya has accumulated 17 points from 10 matches, scoring 19 goals and conceding 9.

In their recent league outing, East Riffa performed admirably to secure a draw against Sitra in a match that concluded with a 1-1 scoreline. Thiago Fernandes played a crucial role in putting East Riffa ahead in the 72nd minute. However, a late-minute goal by Amir Roustaei from the penalty spot allowed their opponents, Sitra, to claim all three points in that contest. Assessing the recent matches of the visitors, they have managed to secure only one victory, but experienced two losses while playing to draws in two other matches.

Analyzing the current form, squad♌ quality, and home advantage, Al Khalidiya is anticipated to emerge victorious in this match. Additionally, considering the recent offensive struggles of the visitors, it seems unlikely that they will score in this encounter.
