Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Al Khaleej in 11th and Najran in 12th place.

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!

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Najran's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Najran have performed like this: Played five matches resulting in 3 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats with the goal stats 8-3 (scored/conceded). Najran have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
