Struggling Al Sahel will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Al Salmiyah in the upcoming league round. It’s 7th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Al Sahel form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Al Sahel have only managed 1 win, 4 draws and 2 losses from their games here at Al-Sadaqua Walsalam Stadium.

Sahel manager and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Yarmouk (placed 10th) in the Premier League. Preceding that match was the home game against Al Kuwait that was lost 1-3.
