The Professional League league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Al-Rustaq and Dhofar are placed 7th and 2nd respectively.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Professional League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Oman Club.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Dhofar, who are travelling more than 1000 kilometers to play this game.
Al-Rustaq form and stats
Al-Rustaq have only played one Professional League game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 4 wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats from 13 matches.

Early season league goal statistics from Al-Rustaq's 1 home game: 2 goals, 0 conceded.
Dhofar form and stats
