After three games we know a little more about the qualities of Al Riffa and East Riffa in this fresh Premier League season. Read our match preview!
Al Riffa and East Riffa should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Al Riffa form and stats
Al Riffa have only played one Premier League game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat from 8 matches.
Al Riffa's previous game was a Premier League match also played at home, ending 5-0 versus Al Hala (placed 10th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Heartbreak before that as Al Riffa lost 2-3 at Busaiteen's place.
As mentioned above, Al Riffa "killed" Al Hala in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Premier League game versus Al Shabbab Manama in only four days. This game is also played here at Madinat 'Isa Stadium.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Al Riffa at home in the league. 5 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
East Riffa form and stats
East Riffa have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Premier League were 2 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats from 9 fixtures.
East Riffa are travelling after their nice 2-0 home win in the Premier League against Al-Najma (placed 7th). A loss against Al Ahli was the result prior to that, in a home game.
East Riffa has another fixture away, a Premier League game, against Al Hala in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
East Riffa have the goal stats of 0-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Last ten meetings between the teams: Al Riffa won 4, East Riffa won 4 and 2 draws. 3 games with over 2,5 goals, 7 matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
