9th- against 6th place might not seem all that tempting to look into. But: Tipsway has the facts and figures that makes Al Salt - Sahab (even) more entertaining!

Insights:
  • Sahab have the fewest scored goals (4) away in Premier League

Relegation threatens Salt who should definitely be looking for some points here. For Sahab most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season. This football field has grass, unlike Sahab's home arena. The last 23 games by the visitors on grass have ended with 4 wins, 9 draws and 10 losses.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
