Al Oruba hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 11 points and a 14th position in the Professional League table. Visiting Fanja holds 7th place with 25 pts.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Sultan Cup match only three days ago. That game was an away game at Ibri, so at least Al Oruba are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Fanja form and stats
2-4-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Fanja in their Professional League matches away. One point away has become something of a habit for Fanja who have played out draws in their last three away games.
Fanja's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Oman Club that finished 2-2. Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Al Nasr.
Drawing 2-2 against Oman Club after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
