The Premier League league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Baridhara and Brothers Union are placed 13th and 9th respectively.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
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.
Baridhara form and stats
In their previous game, the manager A. Ahmed led his Baridhara to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Bangladesh Police. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Bangabandhu National Stadium. Heartbreak before that as Baridhara lost 0-1 at Bashundhara Kings's place.

A quick return to home after this game, as Brothers Union are hosting Bangladesh Police in the Premier League only four days away.
