Struggling Al Khaleej will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Al Bukayriyah in the upcoming league round. It’s 14th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

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