This match features two teams living in the basement of the Division 1, Burgan holding 5th place and Al Sulaibikhat lying 4th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Division 1 match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Khaitan, so at least Burgan are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

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.
