Sitra vs Al Khalidiyah Prediction: Visiting team will win

This first-round encounter between Sitra and Al Khalidiyah will take place at Khalifa Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The host team's most recent match ended in a draw, while the away team's most recent match ended in a loss against Al Nahda.

Sitra come into this matchup after their previous Premier League match against Al-Shabab ended in a 1-1 draw. In recent games, Sitra has allowed a fair number of goals to their opponents, but they have also found a way to score on their own. An examination of Sitra's performance in their last six matches reveals that they have allowed goals to be scored against them in all six of those matches while also contributing to the scoring in five of those matches.

Khalidiya's most recent encounter, which took place in the Premier League against Bahrain Club, ended in a 1-1 draw. According to the statistics, Khalidiya have allowed their opponents to score in five of their most recent six matches, for a total of seven goals scored by their rivals. In terms of defense, Khalidiya have a few holes that need to be filled. This team currently has a record of two wins, one tie, and two defeats heading into this match.

The most recent league contest that featured these two teams ended with Khalidiya edging out Sitra 2-2 on match day 17 of the Premier League on March 15, 2023.

Even though they will be competing against Khalidiya away from home, Sitra ought to be able to at least salvage a draw from the match. However, the quality that Khalidiya possesses is difficult to overlook for any length of time. As a result, despite the fact that I anticipate a tight and difficult competition, I am putting my money on the away team to win this match, despite the fact that it will be a very close encounter.
