Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Al Ittifaq Maqaba & Al Reef face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Federation Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
