Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Al Wakrah & Al Shahaniya face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Emir Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
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.
