Shamal vs Al Markhiya Prediction & Betting Tips (11 March)

Al Markhiya have every chance of going up this QSL season, with the Al Markhiya cause being helped by a seven-match unbeaten run on their travels that has included five wins out of six recently. Shamal come into this contest in pretty poor form, with the Shamal collecting just two points from a possible 15 as their campaign drifts towards a conclusion.

Al Markhiya appear destined to secure promotion at the end of the campaign, and the fact that ten of their last 14 games have served up no more than a couple of goals shows how hard they are having to scrap for every point. The numbers have been pretty similar for Shamal of late, with 11 of their previous 15 matches at this level delivering under 2.5 goals.

Somewhat incredibly, at least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from 14 of the previous 15 Al Markhiya games at this level, and they are without a goal in eight away matches on the bounce. As for Shamal, both teams have scored in just five of their last 20 home fixtures in the QSL, so don’t expect too many fireworks.
