Venue: Al-Shoalah Club Stadium (8000 seats)

Al-Kawkab hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 38 points and a 15th position in the Division 1 table. Visiting Al Shoalah holds 11th place with 45 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!

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.

Relegation threatens Al-Kawkab who should definitely be looking for some points here. Shoalah are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
