This promises to be another interesting encounter at Sheikh Ali bin Mohammed Al Khalifa Stadium in the Premier League. Al-Najma is in 5th position and welcome Muharraq in 3rd place. Read all about the match here!
Al-Najma and Muharraq should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Muharraq have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
