These 1 Star bet suggestions have a low confidence rating but they have performed reasonably well. More impressively though, the 4 Star Gold bets have returned about 9% over the last year. Here the away side is picked and this is why.

This has been described as a match with all outcomes being possible but the pick is for Ittihad Kalba to get a result.

The hosts will be eager to put some of their recent muted performances in the rear-view mirror. Al Bataeh have been causing a lot of headaches in terms of betting strategy. They've lost 6 of their last 8 games as hosts. Those reverses have not been helped by their recent goal count. They've been goalless in 3 of their last 7 matches on their own paddock so they could up against it. Lapses of concentration have cost them. Letting in an average of 2.6 goals from their latest 8 matches on their own paddock has shown how they can be vulnerable when they've lost their shape.

The visitors will be motivated. Ittihad Kalba have won 5 of their last 10 matches. They've scored 2.1 goals on average over their last 10 games and assuming that they don't have any absentees from their best 11 between now and kick-off, they should have the quality to enjoy further success here.

In fairness they might end up in parity. The sportsbooks have forecasted goals at both ends of the park as they can both be dangerous in possession. It isn't a particulary strong view but the BTTS No looks a bit more tempting for this encounter.
