Al-Najma are flying at 1st, while Isa Town are loitering 14 points behind in the league table. Will they reduce the gap?
- Al-Najma have the most scored goals (25) in Second Division
- Isa Town have won at least twice as many corners as they have conceded.
These teams have little in common geographically as Isa Town have to travel 3700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
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.
