The Al Khaleej & Ohod managers Hilal and Anbar are both dreading and looking forward to this highly important fixture in the higher area of the Division 1 table.

Insights:
  • Al Khaleej have the most scored goals (48) in Division 1
  • Ohod have the most conceded goals in the first half (26) in Division 1

Ohod have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

It's no vacation for neither Al Khaleej nor Ohod as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
