Al-Muharraq vs Bahrain SC Prediction: Home team to end Bahrain SC's winning run

Al-Muharraq vs Bahrain SC will square it off at Al Muharraq Stadium in the week 3 Bahrain Premier League. Heading into this game, the two teams remain unbeaten this season. How will this encounter unfold?

Al-Muharraq were held to a 1-1 draw the last time out by Malkia and will look to return to winning ways here. In that encounter, Al-Muharraq needed to come from behind to take a point, having been behind within the first six minutes of the game. However, Juninho's 79th-minute strike was enough to give a point for Al-Muharraq in their second game of the season. Having defeated Al-Shabbab in their season's opening match, Al-Muharraq sit 5th in the league standings with four points, scoring four goals and conceding one. 

Bahrain SC made it consecutive league wins the last time out and will look to continue in that run. In their last match, this team played East Riffa, and they pulled off a comeback win. Conceding five minutes before the break, second-half Anderson Junior and Michel Rocha's strikes were enough to see this team secure their second win of the season, having defeated Al-Ahli Manama in week one. Heading into this game, Bahrain SC sit 3rd in the league standings with six points. 

This is a tricky game, considering how improved Bahrain SC are at the moment. However, at home, I trust Al-Muharraq, and I expect them to step up their game. While Bahrain SC are in hot form, they will look to keep things going. Yet, I believe this will be a close game, with both teams scoring while the home team wins.
