Season ticket holders at Rustaq Sports complex haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Al Suwaiq languishing in the 12th position so far. The guesting Fanja will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
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.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
