Malkia vs Bahrain SC Prediction: The visiting team will secure a win

Khalifa Sports City Stadium will host the Bahrain Premier League encounter between Malkia and Bahrain SC. The two teams are coming off a defeat and will hope for a win. How will they approach this game?

Malkia's last league game was against Ali CSC, and they ended on the losing end. In a match that ended 2-1, Malkia could only get a consolation goal in the 90+6 minute through Sayed Mohammed Abbas’ strike, having conceded twice within the last 13 minutes of the game. However, Malkia have not won their last three games heading into this fixture, drawing Al-Shabbab and Al-Muharraq. Yet, their encounter against East Riffa ended 1-2, coming in the opener of the season. 

Bahrain SC's last encounter was a 1-2 defeat against Al-Shabbab, and they will hope to get things right this time. In that game, Toto Mateus put their opponent in the lead, but Anderson Junior levelled the score for them before the break. However, at the last minute, Sayed Ebrahim's strike denied Bahrain SC a point at full-time. In the meantime, Bahrain SC have suffered defeats in consecutive matches despite opening the season with successive victories. This season, Bahrain SC have six points accumulated from a possible 12. Seated in the standings is 7th, scoring six goals and conceding ten.

Bahrain SC are my favourite in this game, and I expect them to win. While the newly promoted Malkia showed competitive performances this season, I still do not trust them as they do not look solid enough to secure a win. This is a game where both teams could struggle, but away from home, I will take a chance on Bahrain SC to win while the home team scores.
