East Riffa vs Al-Najma Prediction: The two teams hope to secure their first win this season

Khalifa Sports City Stadium will host the Bahrain Premier League game between East Riffa and Al-Najma. Heading into this game, the two teams have consecutive defeats. How will this one unfold?

East Riffa have started their 2024/2025 campaign with consecutive defeats and will look to respond well with a win in this game. In their last encounter against Bahrain SC, East Riffa started the game with a lead in the 40th minute through Luiz Fernando’s strike. However, a poor second half saw their opponent score twice in the last 14 minutes of the game to hand East Riffa a defeat. Heading into this game, East Riffa have conceded four goals and scored two after their first two games of the season. 

Al-Najma's last league match was against Al-Ahli Manama, and they lost 2-3. In the meantime, this team also started their season with a defeat at the hands of Al Riffa, an encounter that ended 3-0. Heading into this game, the home team has failed to win any of their last five matches, with two other defeats against Manama Club and Al-Hidd, while drawing Al-Muharraq. 

These are two struggling sides, and they need to step up their game this time. However, East Riffa at home looks like the best option in this game, considering their turf advantage, even though they will not have an easy task. The visiting East Riffa vs Al-Najma have struggled so much heading into this game, but they have been good offensively and should score in this game.
