Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Al Hikma & Al Ahed face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Federation Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
This is a battle between neighbours, usually meaning added nervousness and significance.
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.
