It's ground zero in Premier League - the first game of the season. Read the full preview and see how Al Kuwait and Khaitan did in their pre-season friendlies!
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.
Al Kuwait form and stats
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Al Shabab are coming to town in four days.
Kuwait could celebrate like crazy last season after winning the Premier League. Home supporters are hoping for more of the same this season. In the home games here at Ali Al-Salem Al-Sabah Stadium they witnessed 6 victories, 2 draws and 1 defeat. In total the trophy was secured after W13 - D4 - L1 from 18 games.
Khaitan form and stats

A job perfectly done for Khaitan last season as they secured promotion from Division 1. With a grand total of 6 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 3 were in away matches.
