Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Sahab & Al Wihdat face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Shield Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
This football field has artifical turf, which is not Al Wihdat's familiar surface at their own ground. When appearing on artifical turf Al Wihdat have performed like this: Played six matches with the output 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats with the goal numbers 9-10 (scored/conceded).
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
It's no vacation for neither Sahab nor Al Wihdat as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
