6th position in the Division 1 table for Al Nahdha so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 12th-placed Najran visits Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium.

It's no vacation for neither Al Nahdha nor Najran 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.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1300 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Najran are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
