1st position in the Premier League table for Al-Hidd so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 6th-placed Manama visits Al-Ahli Stadium.
The hosts Al-Hidd saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Premier League. This match was also played here at Al-Ahli Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Manama have had more rest.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Al-Hidd form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Al-Ahli Stadium as Al-Hidd have scored 11 goals to get 16 points from 7 games. The overall stats in the Premier League are 5-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).
A nice win for Al-Hidd last time playing, versus Al Hala. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1. Ahead of that match, Al-Hidd lost 0-4 at home to Al Riffa.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Al-Hidd, as the Premier League home game vs Busaiteen is only two days away.
The Al-Hidd fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 11 goals in 7 league matches. Al-Hidd have conceded 8 in these home matches.
Manama form and stats
Manama have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 0-4-4 (8 played).
Manama play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-3 to Al Shabbab Manama (placed 8th). A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Busaiteen.
After this away game Manama return home for a Premier League game against Muharraq. That game is only two sleeps after this.
The visitors have scored 5 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Manama's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 14 goals from these trips.
