Al-Najma vs East Riffa Prediction: In form Riffa will win again

The fourth round of the Bahrain Premier League will include a match between Al-Najma and East Riffa. The match will take place at Khalifa Sports City Stadium. The away team, East Riffa, have won each of their last four matchups against the home team, and this pattern is likely to continue. In the meantime, what are your thoughts on Al-Najma's potential to end Riffa's dominance this time around?

Following on from their previous victory, Al-Najma will be hoping for more of the same after claiming a 0-5 victory over Al-Hala in the Premier League. Recent games involving Al-Najma have consistently been high-scoring affairs that feature a plethora of goals, making for riveting spectator experiences. In the most recent six matches between these two teams, a combined total of 24 goals have been scored, which works out to an average of 4 goals per game, with Al-Najma being responsible for 13 of those goals.

East Riffa will enter the contest having just come off a victory in their previous Premier League match, which they won 2-1 against Manama. In the run-up to this meeting, East Riffa have been a threat up front, as evidenced by the fact that they have scored 11 goals in their previous six meetings. In spite of this, East Riffa's defensive play has been fairly shaky, as seen by the fact that they have conceded goals in six of the aforementioned matches. The away team comes into this game riding a wave of momentum, having won their last four games in a row and being unbeaten in their last 10 matches overall.

As a result of the fact that both teams are anticipated to approach this match with strong attacking play, this should turn out to be a goal-scoring competition. In the meantime, East Riffa are also the better side, and with their fantastic victory record versus Al-Najma, I predict the away team will win here as well.
