Al Quadisiya are ready for a new challenge after their 0-2 vs Hajer last time out. Najran are coming to play!

Insights:
  • Al Quadisiya have the fewest dropped points from leading position (2) in Division 1
  • Najran have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

For Najran most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.

Najran have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
