Insights:
  • Yarmouk have the most conceded goals (16) at home in Premier League
  • Al Salmiyah have the most points from losing position (9) in Premier League

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

Al Salmiyah could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Premier League game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Al Qadsia, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Al Salmiyah.
