Al Khalidiyah vs Sitra Prediction: Khalidiyah will close the league gap with a win

Khalifa Sports City Stadium will host the Bahrain Premier League encounter between Al Khalidiyah and Sitra. The last time these two teams met, Al Khalidiyah secured a win. How will Sitra respond here? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions. 

Al Khalidiyah

Al Khalidiyah's last game was against Tractor and they settled for a draw. However, this team has failed to win their last two matches, having lost to Tractor in the first leg of their fixture. In the meantime, Al Khalidiyah's last league game was against Ali CSC, and they suffered a defeat. In fact, Al Khalidiyah have won four of their last home matches, coming against Bahrain SC, Al-Shabbab, Altyn Asyr, and Al Quawa Al Jawifa. This season, Al Khalidiyah have 21 points accumulated from nine matches, leaving them seated 2nd.

Sitra

Sitra's last league game was against Al-Najma and they settled for a goalless draw. In the meantime, that draw was Sitra’s third in their last five matches, coming against Bahrain SC and Al-Shabbab. However, in their last five matches, Sitra's lone win was against Bouri, ending 0-1. Away from home, Sitra have not lost their last five matches, drawing three and winning two. This season, Sitra have 15 points from nine matches, leaving them seated in 6th place.
