Both sides have had plentiful rest since their last competitive action. Let's look for an active match!

The home club members saw a 0-0 draw vs Al Hussein in the Shield Cup last time out and are hoping for a victory here.
In the match before, 1-1 away to Ma'an (Shield Cup).
There will be little rest for Al Ahli after this match as they are travelling to Al Faysali for a Shield Cup game in only four days.

Al Salt form and stats
Salt's mission in Shield Cup last season failed in the group stage.There's been little loot from Al Salt's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 11 away games in the Premier League. Al Salt only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 4 draws.
This game can not go any worse than the previous one, a Shield Cup home loss versus Shabab Al Ordon with 0-1 on the scoreboard.
The game before that was the Shield Cup-battle against Moghayer Al Sarhan, a home loss (1-2).
Al Salt have another fixture away in just four sleeps, a Shield Cup game against Al Ramtha. A strenuous calendar for the visiting team!
The visitors have scored 10 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Salt manager Abed has some worries about the defense as 23 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
