These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Premier League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Al Sahel.

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.
