Al Kuwait and Al Seeb get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this AFC Cup Group Stage fixture.
These teams have little in common geographically as Al Seeb have to travel 1700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
It's no vacation for neither Kuwait nor Al Seeb 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.
