East Riffa vs Al-Hala Prediction: Hosts expected to take maximum points

East Riffa will host Al-Hala in the Bahrain Premier League atꦯ the Sheikh Ali bin Mohammedও Al Khalifa Stadium. The hosts are slightly favored to win here, while the visiting team is the underdog. 

East Riffa are coming off a win over Al-Shabbab last time out in the league. In that game, East Riffa came from behind to take all three points with 49th minute Faris Ghatasha's strike leveling their scores before a 74th-minute Sami Al Husaini gave them the win. However, that win is East Riffa's lone win in recent games, as they lost to Manama Club, Al-Najma, Al Khalidiyah, Busaiteen, Umm Al Hassam, and drew Al Riffa and Al-Hidd in prior games. In the Bahrain Premier League this season, East Riffa have accumulated 20 points and are positioned 7th in the standings.

Al-Hala are coming off a four-game losing streak. This side lost to Al-Hidd, Al Riffa, Al-Shabbab, and Al-Muharraq in that run. In the meantime, their recent win in the league was against Al-Najma, and this side secured a 2-4 road win in that game. In the meantime, Al-Hala have accumulated just 19 points in the league this season and are seated 10th in the standings.

East Riffa should win this game. Al-H⛦ala have not shown that they can defeat any side with their recent performances and could also struggle here. While the hosts picked their first win after many games, taking a poor side like Al-Hala at home should propel them to another victory in a match where both teams are expected to concede goals.
