East Riffa vs Al-Hidd Prediction: Expect goals from both teams

East Riffa and Al-Hidd will square it off at the Khalifa Sports City Stadium in the relegation group of the Bahrain Premier League. Both teams have an unbeaten run of games into this encounter. How will this game end?

East Riffa's last game ended in a 2-2 draw with Malkia. However, the prior games to that draw saw this team go seven games without defeat. In that run of games, East Riffa picked just two wins, coming against Al-Shabbab and Al Khalidiyah in games that ended 1-2 and 3-0, respectively. In the meantime, this team’s games against Al-Hidd, Al Riffa, Al-Hala, Al-Muharraq, and Sitra all ended in draws. In their last home games to this, East Riffa won one, drew three, and lost one.

Al-Hidd will look to secure another win here following a 2-1 win over Al-Ittihad last time out. In that game, goals from Ahmad Habeeb and Ali Muneer were what this team needed to take maximum points. However, Al-Hidd have now won three of their last five matches, two others coming against Busaiteen and Al-Najma. In the meantime, this team could only pick one point in each of their games against Al-Ahli Manama, Manama Club, Al Khalidiyah, Sitra, and East Riffa. Heading into this game, the visiting team is unbeaten in 12 matches. 

The two teams have very good form into this game, and they will look to keep that rub here. In the meantime, I trust the attacking mentality of these two sides, and we can be confident that this game will end with goals. Also, while East Riffa have a home turf advantage here, I trust them to take maximum points.
