This is the Q League season opener for these teams, who are finally competing for points again. Will Al Markhiya or Al Shahaniya get that important first win?
Al Markhiya and Al Shahaniya 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 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.
