Al-Shabab
LDLDDD ⚠
Al-Shabab go into this game after a 1-1 Premier League drawn result vs Sitra.
Al-Shabab haven’t exactly had impressive attacking statistics of late. Their goals record equals just 2 against opponents during their last six outings. In those games, Al-Shabab have also seen the tally of goals scored against them come to 6.
Manama
LLLLDL ⚠
Following on from tasting defeat last time out to Al-Muharraq in Premier League competition, Manama and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
Juninho Piauiense (90') and Elliot Simões (90') scored for Al-Muharraq.
Showing their partiality to productive encounters, we’ve had goals 22 times in the last six matches in which Manama have taken to the pitch, giving an average of 3.67 goals for each meeting. Opposition teams have hit 19 of those goals. We will have to find out whether or not that trend will end up being continued on into this next match.
🤜🤛
Head to head
If we look at their past head to head duels stretching back to 14/09/2020, there is nothing to separate the two clubs with Al-Shabab winning 2 of those games, Manama 2 and 2 being drawn after 90 minutes of play.
11 goals were yielded between them in this period, with 6 for Al-Shabab and 5 created by Manama. That’s an average goals per game figure of 1.83.
The previous league clash between these clubs was Premier League match day 8 on 11/01/2025 when it finished Manama 0-2 Al-Shabab.

Team News: Manama
Due to a fully injury-free squad ready to go, the Manama boss Mohammed Al Shamlan has zero fitness worries to report coming into this game.

Prediction
We’re thinking that Manama will have to play well to break down this Al-Shabab team who we think should just have the edge.
With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 winning margin for Al-Shabab at the end of this one.
Let’s see how it plays out.
