The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Fanja are in the 7th position while the guesting Al Suwaiq worry at 10th.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Professional League game only four days ago. That game, against Sohar, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Al Suwaiq.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
