National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Al Bidda or Al Ahli that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Premier League.
Al Bidda form and stats

Al Bidda drew their last game, also a home match. Al Mesaimeer was the opponent, 0-0 the score.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Al Kharitiyath that finished 1-1.This is expected to be a close game, with Al Bidda perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

This game can not go any worse than the previous one, the home loss versus Al Gharafa with 1-4 on the scoreboard.
A 2-4 defeat away at Al Sadd before that.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Al Ahli playing away and similar expectations, we found 6 relevant matches. Results were 2 Al Ahli wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.
