This could be an interesting match as Fanja have their presumed home advantage while Dhofar are ahead 11 points in the Professional League table.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Professional League. That game was also an away game, at Al Nasr. 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.
It's quite the trip for Dhofar when visiting Fanja as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.
