Game week two of the Premier League season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Muharraq - Budaiya preview:

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.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
