It's the second chance for points this season as Safa and Shabab Al Ghazieh battle it out at Amin Abdelnour Stadium.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 1-0-1 (win-draw-loss) from two matches.
