East Riffa

LLLDDW

East Riffa will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following a 1-2 Premier League triumph versus Al-Shabab.

It’s not been often in recent times that East Riffa have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that East Riffa have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 9 goals in the process. That trend might not be continued into this next game, of course.
