Second Division: Two contenders in reasonable form get together for this game. Malkiya could have a tiny advantage with their 3rd spot in the standings?
- Sitra have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Malkiya have the fewest conceded goals (10) in Second Division
These teams have little in common geographically as Malkiya have to travel 2500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
This promises to be an exciting fixture with lots of fun and energy as both teams are well refreshed since they last saw competitive action. Let's get started!

A nice win for Sitra last time playing, versus Qalali. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Isa Town in a game that was won 2-0.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.
