Struggling Al Ansar will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Al-Ain in the upcoming league round. It’s 16th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Division 1 match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Hottain, so at least Al Ansar are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
