Al-Riffa, a traditionally strong team in the Bahraini Premier League, currently sits third in the league with 15 points, boasting a record of 4 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss. Their performance on both offense and defense has been solid, averaging 1.75 goals scored and 0.625 goals conceded per match, resulting in a goal difference of 9. Al-Riffa's recent form is impressive, with a 33% win rate in the last 30 days and currently on a winning streak. In contrast, Al-Shabbab is positioned 11th in the league, managing only 1 win, 2 draws, and 5 losses in 8 matches. Their goal statistics are at the bottom, with only 2 goals scored and 9 conceded. Furthermore, Al-Shabbab has experienced a poor run of form in their last 6 matches, with a record of loss-win-draw-loss-loss-loss. Historical encounters show that Al-Shabbab defeated Al-Riffa 2-0 at home on January 19, 2025. However, Al-Riffa also secured a 1-0 victory against their opponent on September 12, 2022. Considering this season's overall performance, Al-Riffa demonstrates greater stability and attacking efficiency. Given Al-Shabbab's weak defense (1.3 goals conceded per game) and struggling offense (0.3 goals per game), they are likely to find it difficult to withstand Al-Riffa's attacks.
