It's back home for Arabi, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Qatar SC away with the result 2-0. M. Mohammadi and A. Boupendza found the net in that victory.
Before that, Arabi had a home game versus Al Sailiya which ended with a victory 1-0.Arabi are traveling soon after this match as the QSL Cup match at Al Khor awaits in four days.
