Only a few games have been played in the Premier League so far, with Al Fahaheel placed 3rd and Al Shabab sitting in the 9th position.

It's no vacation for neither Al Fahaheel nor Al Shabab as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

Al Fahaheel form and stats

As mentioned below, Al Fahaheel are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Premier League games. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Fahaheel after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 217 minutes without scoring a league goal. A. Mbimbe was the last player to find the net.

The fans are hoping that Fahaheel will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Premier League game against Al Qadsia (placed 1st). Heartbreak before that as Fahaheel lost 0-1 at Khaitan's place.

At Abdullah Al-Khalifa Stadium, Al Fahaheel has the goal stats of 3-0 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
