There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Al-Hidd leading Al Hala by 22 points.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Al-Hidd form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Sheikh Ali bin Mohammed Al Khalifa Stadium as Al-Hidd, who have the fewest conceded goals (14) in Premier League, have scored 9 goals to get 13 points from 6 games. The overall stats in the Premier League are 4-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).
The Al-Hidd crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-4 to Al Riffa here at Sheikh Ali bin Mohammed Al Khalifa Stadium in a Premier League match. A strong away win before that one, visiting East Riffa and winning 3-0.
Al-Hidd were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Al-Hidd as they are travelling to their away game against Muharraq in the Bahrain Cup. That match is four days after this one.
The Al-Hidd fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 9 goals in 6 league matches. Al-Hidd have conceded 7 in these home matches.
Al Hala form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Al Hala, who have the fewest scored goals (12) in Premier League, so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-5 (win-draw-lose).
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Al Shabbab Manama (placed 8th) in their previous outing. The Premier League match ended in a draw 0-0. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Busaiteen.
Hala are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 8 away games. For Hala, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
