Riffa Club Stadium: Sound the horn for a football frolic when Qalali welcome Al-Najma. All the latest on the fixture here!

Insights:
  • Al-Najma have the most scored goals (41) in Second Division

These teams have little in common geographically as Al-Najma have to travel 3700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

It's no vacation for neither Qalali nor Al-Najma as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

A nice win for Qalali last time playing, versus Al-Najma. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0.
