Faisal faced defeat in their previous match, away at Ashanti Gold (1-5). A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Karela.

Faisal were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at José López for missing a penalty kick versus Ashanti Gold in the 45th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
