This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Al Arabi form and stats
Al Arabi have played three Premier League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
In their previous game, the manager H. Hallgrímsson led his Arabi to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Qatar SC. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Stadium. Preceding that match was a defeat to Al Sadd (1-4).
