There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Premier League table so far. Here's the Al Ahli - Al Wakrah latest:
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.
Relegation threatens Al Ahli who should definitely be looking for some points here. Wakrah is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
