Sitra vs East Riffa Prediction: Both teams will be satisfied with a draw

Khalifa Sports City Stadium will host this round 21 Bahrain Premier League game between Sitra and East Riffa. Both teams are on an unbeaten run of five games. Which side will keep things going?

Sitra are coming off a 1-2 win against Al-Hala. In that game, goals from Abdulwasea Al Matari and Abdul Karim Diarra were good enough to give Sitra all the maximum points. In the meantime, the host's prior games to that win saw them play to draws in four consecutive games. They played Al-Najma, Al-Hidd, Al Riffa, and Al-Shabba in that run. In that run of games, Sitra scored seven goals while conceding seven.

East Riffa are coming off a 2-2 draw with Al-Muharraq. In that game, East Riffa came from behind twice to level the scores, with Thiago Fernandes netting twice. However, other games in their last five saw East Riffa draw Al-Hidd, Al Riffa, and Al-Hala. In the meantime, East Riffa defeated Al-Shabbab in a 1-2 game in that run. In those matches, East Riffa scored six goals, while conceding five.

The two teams are playing at the same level right now. Also, they have been scoring well lately. While both teams have a good chance of winning here, I feel this will be a game where both teams will avoid a defeat, and a draw with goals.
