Al-Arabi SC vs Al-Salmiyah SC Prediction: Salmiyah is no match for Arabi

Al-Arabi will take on Al-Salmiyah FC at the Sabah Al-Salem Stadium for the 18th round of their Kuwait Premier League game. Salmiyah continues to fight for a favorable position in the league while Al-Arabi continues to chase the top position. It’s quite clear that Al-Arabi remains our favorite for the victory and they’ll most likely get the victory at Sabah Al-Salem stadium on Saturday. I predict a confident victory for Al-Arabi SC. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, key stats, and my expert opinion. 

Al-Arabi SC (2nd)

Form in the League: WWDDW

Al-Arabi has remained unbeaten in their last 11 league games with 2 consecutive league victories in their last two league games. They remained unfazed in their most recent league game against Al-Nasr SC which ended in a narrow 2-1 defeat. Now they have another opportunity to continue in winning ways as they take on Al-Arabi on Saturday. 

Hamza Kabba is the team's highest goal scorer. Al-Arabi SC is in 2nd place in the league table, with 14 wins, 2 draws, and a loss from 17 games and they’ll aim for another win as they prepare to take on Nasr on Thursday. 

Al-Salmiyah SC (5th)

Form in the League: DLWDL

Al-Salmiyah has only won a league game in the last 5 league games with two draws and two losses in their last five league games. Their most recent league game against Yarmouk ended in a 1-1 draw and they’ll most likely suffer a defeat at the hands of the incredible Al-Arabi on Saturday. They are currently 5th placed in the league with 8 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses from 17 games played.
