Al-Ittihad vs Al-Najma Prediction: Bet on the visitors to win

The match between Al-Ittihad and Al-Najma in the second round of the Bahrain King's Cup will take place at the Al Najma Club Stadium. The chances of Al-Najma coming out on top in this match are higher than those of Al-Ittihad, although the latter team still has a shot at victory if they can improve their performance. 

Al-Ittihad - huge underdogs

In their most recent match, Al-Ittihad were defeated at home by Malkia by a score of 0-2 in the competition. In the meantime, that setback made it so that they have now suffered two defeats away from home, the first of which was against Al-Budaiya and resulted in a loss by the same score of 2-0. Despite this, Al-Ittihad was still able to come out on top in two of their most recent five matches. These victories came against Ali CSC and Isa Town in games that were decided by scores of 4-1 and 3-0, respectively. Al-Ittihad enters this match having scored as many as eight goals in their previous five matches, but they have also allowed eight goals in that same stretch of time to their opponents.

Al-Najma - favorite to win

After last weekend's match against Sitra, which ended with a score of 1-1, Al-Najma will head into this match hoping to pick up all three points. In the match, Abd Al Wasea gave Sitra the lead in the match from the penalty spot in the 26th minute of play. On the other hand, Al-Najma ramped up their performance in the 90th minute, and with a powerful effort by Juninho, they were able to salvage a late tie. Now, entering into this match, Al-Najma had only lost one of their previous six matches, and that loss came against Al-Budaiya in a match that was played away from home in this competition. In the meantime, the away team has now scored 14 goals over the course of their previous six matches, while only allowing 7 goals over the same time span.

Expert Betting Tips

I have no doubt in my mind that the away team is the superior side, and as a result, I will put my money on them to win this match. Additionally, the home team has been struggling defensively, and the presence of a formidable opponent like Al-Najma presents yet another challenge for them to overcome. As a result, placing a wager on goals is also a good idea in this matchup.
