It's only match two of the Premier League for these squads. And it's all to play for here at Bir Shrestha Shaheed Mustafa Kamal Stadium as Rahmatgonj MFS greet Abahani. Get smart with this preview!

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

These are hustling days for the hometeam, as they had a match only four days ago in the Federation Cup. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Mohammedan Dhaka.
