The Premier League league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Arambagh and Saif are placed 11th and 3rd respectively.
Arambagh and Saif should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
