Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Al Nasr & Fanja face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Sultan Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
These teams have little in common geographically as Fanja have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
This looks to be an action-packed fixture with lots of spark and energy as both squads are well refreshed since they last played a game. Game on!
