This match features two teams living in the basement of the Premier League, Al Shabbab Manama holding 8th place and Al Hala lying 10th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
