The visiting Ahli Al-Khalil side should be favourites in this visit to Al-Bireh, as the away team holds a 6 point advantage from their ten league games this season.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Ahli Al-Khalil have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 1-1-3 (win-draw-loss) from five matches.
