National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Al-Hidd or Manama that keep their silverware dream alive.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
