Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Dhofar & Al Suwaiq face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Sultan Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Al Suwaiq, who are travelling more than 1000 kilometers to play this game.
