Manama are flying at 2nd, while Muharraq are loitering 7 points behind in the league table. Can they decrease the gap?
- Manama have the most scored goals (13) in Premier League
- Muharraq have not yet lost a game away.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
