MANAMA, Bahrain (Interstat) — An in-form Al Hidd will look to protect its unbeaten record when it hosts rival Budaiya in a Bahrain Premier League match on Friday, Oct. 31.

Al Hidd sits comfortably near the top of the table with a league record of 3-0-2, having taken 11 points from a possible 15. The club is undefeated across all competitions this season. Budaiya, meanwhile, has struggled, posting a 1-3-2 record in league play for just five points.

According to the Interstat game simulator, Al Hidd is projected to continue its strong run with a 2-1 victory.
