Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Al-Nahda & Al-Ahli / Sedab face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Sultan Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Early season league goal statistics from Al-Nahda's 1 home game: 0 goals, 0 conceded.
Al-Ahli / Sedab form and stats
Last season their Sultan Cup adventure ended in the 16th finals.There's been little loot from Al-Ahli / Sedab's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 11 away games in the Professional League. Al-Ahli / Sedab only have 1 win to counter their 9 defeats and 1 draw. A depressing six defeats in a row for Al-Ahli in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Al Shabab. Three has not been a lucky number for Al-Ahli as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Al-Nahda match.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Al-Rustaq was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
The attacking power of Al-Ahli when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 11 league matches away. Al-Ahli have conceded 20 goals in these games.
