Al-Muharraq beat Samaheej 95 to 60 in the Premier League on Tuesday evening. The visitors confirmed their position at the top of the table, while the hosts remain in third place after twelve games. It was a straight knockout from the start, with the away side never looking back after taking control.
Al-Muharraq have now lost just once in fifteen league matches, and this result extended their recent winning run. They had dropped points against Al-Manama earlier in April but found a way back into it since then. Samaheej, meanwhile, have struggled to string results together—five losses in twelve games leaves them staring at the drop if form doesn't change.
The scoreline tells the story. Thirty-five points is a margin that doesn't require much analysis. Al-Muharraq's recent results show they average around eighty points a game, but this was above their usual output. Samaheej's last five matches include wins against Issa Town and Bahrain, yet neither side reached ninety against the league leaders.
Looking at the table, Al-Muharraq sit top with fourteen wins. Samaheej are seven wins from twelve, but the gap between them and the leaders is now significant. The hosts have played three fewer games, but the difference in quality was visible on the court.
Our prediction called for an away victory with sixty-nine percent confidence. The margin confirms we were right—this wasn't a close game. Al-Muharraq have the deeper squad and showed it when Samaheej couldn't match the tempo. The result leaves the visitors at the summit and the hosts still searching for consistency.
