Season ticket holders at Abu Halifa City Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Burgan languishing in the 5th position so far. The guesting Al Fahaheel will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

The visiting Al Fahaheel played their last game only four days ago, a Division 1 match. That game was also an away game, at Al Sulaibikhat. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
