National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Ibri or Al-Nahda that keep their silverware dream alive.
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.
Ibri form and stats
Last season their Sultan Cup adventure ended in the round of 32.The club members are hoping that Ibri will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away defeat in the Sultan Cup fixture against Al Seeb.
Before that game, a defeat in the away fixture against Al Suwaiq (after extra-time, 6-5 on penalties) in the Sultan Cup.
Al-Nahda form and stats

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Al Oruba in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 1-1.
A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Al Suwaiq.Many goals are not expected from the visiting Al-Nahda as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. Al-Nahda are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only {1 goals} away.
