Season ticket holders at Zubair Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Al Bahri languishing in the 20th position so far. The guesting Naft Al-Janoob will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
