A trophy cabinet can never have too much silverware and both Muharraq and Manama know what's at stake in this second leg of the Bahrain Cup Semi-finals clash.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Muharraq and Manama.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Muharraq form and stats
Overall Premier League stats at home this season for Muharraq are 4-0-0 (wins-draw-losses). On the other hand, in the Bahrain Cup, Muharraq has performed like this (both home and away): 3 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses. In general it's been a long time since Muharraq tasted defeat here at Sheikh Ali bin Mohammed Al Khalifa Stadium, as they have taken at least one point from their last eleven home games in the league. The happy trend is alive also outside their own arena as Muharraq has won their last four matches.
The Muharraq supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Manama in Premier League and win 4-0.
As mentioned above, Muharraq "killed" Manama in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
