It's the second chance for points this season as Brothers Union and Abahani battle it out at Bangabandhu National Stadium.

Brothers have less rest than Abahani in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Premier League game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Sheikh Russel.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
