Match begins: 16:00 (UTC)

Only a few games have been played in the Premier League so far, with Al Gharafa placed 2nd and Al Ahli sitting in the 4th position.

Al Gharafa and Al Ahli should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
