This fixture was marked in the calendar a long time ago by fans of both sides, as it's the first Pro League game of the season. Both Al Shabab and Al Akhdoud are looking for a bright start to their league adventure.

These teams have little in common geographically as Al Akhdoud have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Both participants have had sufficient rest since their previous exertion in an official match. Let's look for an enthusiastic game!
