Division 1 match preview: Al Qaisoma versus Al-Kawkab

Competition: Saudi Arabia Division 1
Date: Tue 16.April
Match begins: 12:50 (UTC)
Venue: Al-Batin FC Stadium (6500 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 16th and the visitors in 17th place.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Al-Kawkab have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 0-0-1 (win-draw-loss) from one match.
