There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Al Seeb leading Mrbat by 25 points.

Mrbat could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Professional League game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Sohar. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
