Not a lot of time to rest for the hosting team, as they were involved in a C-League fixture only four days earlier. Thankfully the previous game, versus Kirivong Sok Sen Chey, was also a home game here at Army Stadium. The away team is better rested.

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

National Defense's previous game was a C-League match also played at home, ending 3-1 versus Kirivong Sok Sen Chey. The home side are looking to build on that result.

In the game before, an away victory match versus Electricite du Cambodge with a 3-0 scoreline.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.
