Al Khalidiya will be aiming to replicate their recent success, having secured a 1-3 victory against Al-Hala in the Premier League. Dominique Mendy opened the scoring for Al Khalidiya in the 31st minute, and despite Jumai Jallow's goal for Al-Hala, Samy Frioui's brace in the 40th and 48th minute secured the win for Al Khalidiya. However, it's worth noting that Al Khalidiya has struggled defensively in recent times, conceding goals in 5 of their last 6 matches and letting in a total of 6 goals. In the current season, the hosts have scored 19 goals while conceding 9, placing them in 3rd position with 17 points.
East Riffa
In their previous fixture, East Riffa played to a 1-1 draw in the Premier League against Sitra. Thiago Fernandes scored for East Riffa in the 69th minute, but a last-minute penalty goal from Amir Roustaei was enough for Sitra to secure a draw. Examining their recent form, East Riffa has conceded goals in 5 of their last 6 games, allowing a total of 8 goals. As they enter this match, the visitors have been unable to secure a victory in their recent outings, experiencing two defeats and three draws in that period.

Matches between these teams are typically challenging, and it's anticipated that this one will be no different. While the hosts have a slight edge, it's expected that they won't have an easy time in this match. Given the historical context of their prior meetings, I am predicting that both teams will score, and a draw seems like a plausible outcome that would satisfy both teams.
