The visiting Shabab Al Khaleel side should be favourites in this visit to Thagafi Tulkarm, as the away team holds a 16 point advantage from their 20 league games this season.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Thagafi and Shabab Al Khaleel.

Playing away, Shabab Al Khaleel have won 4 games, drawn 3 and suffered 3 defeats in the West Bank League this season.
