Al Riffa vs Sitra Prediction: The home team will extend their winning run

Bahrain National Stadium will host the Bahrain Premier League encounter between Al Riffa and Sitra. The two teams settled for a 1-1 draw in their last league meeting. How will this game unfold? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions. 

Al Riffa

Al Riffa played Al-Najma in their last league game and secured a win. In a 1-3 contest, this team came from behind to take maximum points, thanks to second-half goals from Vargas, Mathieu, and Wellington. Ahead of this game, Al Riffa have an unbeaten run of four matches, drawing Al Arabi while picking wins over Bahrain SC and East Riffa. This season, Al Riffa have 20 points from 11 league games, scoring 15 goals and conceding 7. 

Sitra

Sitra played Ali CSC in their last league game and settled for a goalless draw. In the meantime, Sitra have seen two of their last matches end with that result, the first against Al-Najma. In other encounters, Sitra lost to Al Khalidiyah while picking wins over Bouri and Al-Ahli Manama. Away from home, Sitra have only one win, lost one, and drew three. This season, Sitra have 16 points from 11 matches, leaving them seated in 7th place.
