Al-Shabab Manama are coming off a league win over Manama Club, which ended 0-2. Two second-half strikes from Nizar El Otmani and Faisal Bodahoom were enough to see this team take maximum points in that encounter. In the meantime, prior to encounters to that win, this team lost to Al Khalidiyah and Al-Najma while drawing Sitra. In their last home games, Al-Shabab Manama had only one win against Busaiteen, who lost two and drew two. Al-Shabab Manama are seated 8th in the standings with 11 points from eight games.
Al Riffa
Al Riffa extended their unbeaten run against Al-Muharraq with a win and will hope for a similar outcome here. In a game that ended 2-0, Al Riffa scored in each half, with Hussain Al Eker and Samy Frioui striking for them. However, prior encounters saw this team defeat Al-Ahli Manama while they drew East Riffa. In their last road matches, Al Riffa have failed to win any of their last five, losing three and drawing two. This season, Al Riffa have 14 points from seven games. In those games, Al Riffa scored ten goals while conceding two.
Expert Betting Tips
These two teams have a long history, and I expect a lot of competitiveness from them. While I expect these teams to come in with hopes of winning, I do not see either team dropping points here. This should be a tie, but I believe it will involve goals like their past meetings.

The second option is over 2.5 goals with odds at 1.95 on Bet365
The last option is a draw with odds at 3.80 on Betway
