Al-Najma
WLDLLL ๐
Al-Najma wonโt want a repeat of their last result here after a 1-0 Premier League losing effort in their last game against Al-Ahli.
It has been seldom in recent games that Al-Najma have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Al-Najma have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 10 goals in the process. We will just have to see if that trend will be sustained in this game.
East Riffa
LDLDDW
East Riffa go into this meeting after a 3-1 Premier League win to beat Bahrain Club in their most recent outing.
The only player to score from East Riffa was Gonzalo Cรณrdoba (56').
The stats tell the story, and East Riffa have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 9 goals in all. Defensively, East Riffa can certainly do much better.

Prediction
In our opinion, East Riffa and Al-Najma may both struggle to make a breakthrough here.
Letโs see what happens, but it could well be that we end up with scores level and two clean sheets. Thatโs why our selection here is for a tight encounter with a 0-0 draw when the full-time whistle blows.
