Al-Ahli Manama vs Sitra Premier League: Both sides expected to score here

This clash for round 2 of the Bahrain Premier League will take place at Ahli Club Stadium and features Al-Ahli Manama taking on Sitra. Both teams were defeated in their respective opening games of the new season, but they will be looking for a better result here. Nevertheless, which of the two do you anticipate will emerge victorious?

After suffering a 2-1 defeat against East Riffa in their most recent Premier League match, Al-Ahli Manama will be hoping for a better outcome in this contest. In the game, the first half finished in a scoreless draw, but the second half was a much more intense period, and it resulted in three goals being scored. East Riffa's opponent took the lead thanks to a goal scored by Jasim Khelaif in the 65th minute, but an equalizer scored by Abdullah Al Hashash in the 83rd minute was sufficient to bring the score back to a tie. Luckily, East Riffa emerged victorious, 2-1, thanks to a goal scored by Augusto in the 90+6 minute. In their previous six matches, Al-Ahli Manama have scored five times. Five goals have been scored against them over that time period, which is the same number of goals that have been scored themselves. Ahead of this match, the home team is currently sitting in eighth place in the Bahrain Premier League standings.

Sitra's first game of the season, which they played at home and lost by an embarrassing score of 0-2 to Al Khalidiyah, was their most recent outing. Both Mahdi and Ismael scored for their opponents in the game, and it was enough for them to walk away with the victory. Only two of Sitra's most recent five matches have resulted in victories for the team as a whole. These victories came against Al-Hala and Al-Budaiya, while the team fought to a draw with Al-Shabbab and suffered a defeat at the hands of Bahrain SC. In the current rankings for the Bahrain Premier League, Sitra are currently in 10th place and have nil points entering into this matchup.

In their most recent five encounters, Al-Ahli Manama has one victory, while Sitra has two victories. However, the scores of the other two matches were also tied at 2-2 and 0-0. Al-Ahli Manama scored a total of six goals in those five matches, while Sitra scored seven across the board.

As both teams try to get back to their winning ways, I anticipate better performances from both of them in this match. On the other hand, I anticipate a great deal of attacking play, with a great number of opportunities to score goals provided by both teams. Due to the fact that goals are anticipated to be scored by both teams, a draw appears to be another possibility, with both sides expected to do well to suffer a defeat.
