It's advantage Muharraq so far with their 1st position in the Premier League table, welcoming Al-Najma who are placed 4th.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Al-Najma 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.
