Al Khaleej are placed 6th so far, while Al-Kawkab are lagging 1 points behind in the table. Can they reduce the gap?

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Division 1 match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Najran, was also a home game here at Khaleej Club Stadium. The away team is better rested.

It should be mentioned that Al-Kawkab play their home matches on grass, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on artifical turf. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Al-Kawkab on artifical turf are 4 victories, 2 draws and 0 defeats from six games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 9-3. You can compare this with overall results below.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Al-Kawkab, who are travelling more than 1000 kilometers to play this game.

Khaleej can neither be promoted or relegated from Division 1. Al-Kawkab is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
