Prediction
Our feeling is that Al-Muharraq will, in all likelihood, be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.
In contrast, Al-Hala may well find it hard to make a breakthrough but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be scoring here as well.
We reckon that it will be a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning score for Al-Muharraq by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
