Al Hidd FC vs Malkiya Club prediction

The real host of the game is Malkiya eventhough Al Hidd are nominal hosts. That fact gives a chance to the weaker team to get something more than honorable defeat as usual. Malkiya play more effectively against this opponent at home ground and drew three of last five meetings with them here. 1:1 is the most probable draw score as neither team is particularly prolific and a clash between Top 3 teams can always be expected to end in a stalemate. This is the start of the season and a draw is kind of acceptable for both teams considering Al Hidd may be a bit exhausted.
