Relegation threatens Sahel who should definitely be looking for some points here. Al Akhdoud are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

It's no vacation for neither Sahel nor Al Akhdoud as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
