Al Shahaniya hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 8 points and a 12th position in the Premier League table. Visiting Al Arabi holds 5th place with 19 pts.
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!
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
