Busaiteen vs Al-Muharraq Prediction: Dominant Muharraq to win

Busaiteen and Al-Muharraq will battle it out in the Bahrain Premier League at the Sheikh Ali bin Mohammed Al Khalifa Stadium. The last meeting between these sides ended in the visiting team’s favor. Can the hosts avoid a defeat this time?

Busaiteen will come into this game on the heel of a 0-2 defeat at the hands of Al-Ahli Manama. In that game, Busaiteen did well to hold at halftime, but two goals from Ali Brahima Doumbia in the 62nd and 79th minute were what their opponent needed to take all three points. In the meantime, Busaiteen head into this game having failed to win any of their recent league games, losing two, one other against Al Khalidiya and one ending in a 2-2 draw with Sitra. Heading into this game, Busaiteen is seated at the bottom of the league standings with just 15 accumulated points from 16 games.

Al-Muharraq got back to winning ways last time against Al-Shabbab, picking a 3-0 home win. In that game, Al-Muharraq took the lead in the 45th minute of the first half, with Hussein Abdulkarim converting his chance from the spot. However, goals from Ahmed Al Sherooqi and Abdulwahab Al Malood in the second half were good enough to seal the win for Al-Muharraq. Looking at the visitor's performances this season, Al-Muharraq have now seen themselves accumulate 28 league points from 16 league games, positioning them 3rd in the standings.

The visiting team are in a position to win here, and they come in as favorites. On the other hand, hosts Busaiteen are the weakest right now in the league and are struggling to stay strong in either defense or attack. While Al-Muharraq have dominated this fixture and have the better squad, I expect the visiting team to take all three points in a game that should end with many goals.
