The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Al Sailiya are in the 5th position while the guesting Umm Salal worry at 10th.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
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.
Sailiya can neither be promoted or relegated from Premier League. Salal are struggling to avoid relegation.
