Al Riffa vs Sitra Prediction: The home team are clear

At Al Muharraq Stadium, Al Riffa will play Sitra in an early postponed round three of the Bahrain Premier League. The last meeting between these teams ended in a draw. Will there be a winner this time? I look into the full match previews below, which offer betting opportunities. 

Al Riffa

Al Riffa are coming off a league win over Al-Muharraq. In a game that ended 2-0, Al Riffa scored in each half, with Hussain Al Eker and Samy Frioui being crucial. However, this team remained unbeaten in their last three league games. In that run, they defeated Al-Ahli Manama while drawing East Riffa. In the league, Al Riffa have 14 points from seven games, averaging two points per game. This team has netted ten times this season, with two conceded.

Sitra

Sitra suffered a shocking defeat to Malkia the previous time out in the league and will hope to write their wrong. In a game that ended 0-1, Abdulla Al Bahrani's strike in the 30th minute was enough to see their opponent take maximum points. In the meantime, Sitra have struggled in recent games, with zero wins in their last three competitive matches. In that run, they lost Al-Muharraq while drawing to Al-Shabbab. Heading into this game, the visiting team has 13 points from seven matches, leaving them seated 5th in the league standings, just a point adrift of their opponent.

Expert Betting Tips

Sitra have always proven stubborn in this game, but I feel things will go wrong for them this time. While I believe the home team will be able to get the best result, I trust them to be at their best, like in their last league game. This game also potentially look like the two teams will score, and I will back it with goals.
