Al-Hidd vs Malkiya Prediction: Both teams will not disappoint offensively

Al-Hidd and Malkiya will square it off in round 3 of the Bahrain Premier League relegation group games. The last time these two teams met, Al-Hidd pulled off a 1-3 win on the road. How will this encounter end?

Al-Hidd will hope for some positivity in this encounter, having lost to East Riffa in their last league game on the road. In that encounter, Al-Hidd conceded twice in the second half and needed a last-minute goal by Jacques Medina Themopele from the spot as consolation. In the meantime, this team's prior encounters to that defeat did see them go on an 11-run of games without a defeat. In that run, Al-Hidd won five of those matches while drawing six.

Malkiya will look to secure another win following a 3-1 win over Al-Ittihad. In that game, Malkiya conceded first in the first half, with Diawara Diakhate putting Al-Ittihad in the lead in the 24th minute of the game from the spot. In the meantime, this team's strong second-half performance was enough to see them secure maximum points, with Mohamed Merza scoring twice, while Yosri Arfaoui added this team's third of the day. Heading into this game, Malkiya are top of the Bahrain Premier League relegation standings with 4 points. 

Malkiya will look to be strong here and give this game their all. On the other hand, Al-Hidd at home are tough to bet against, looking at how excellent they have been in recent encounters. While there are just two teams needed to make it out of relegation, home matches, as I have said in matches like this, are crucial. While both teams have been good in attack, we might expect goals here, but with the home team being favored, I am backing them to win.
