Match begins: 16:25 (UTC)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Al Ta'ee are in the 9th position while the guesting Al Khaleej worry at 15th.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

This pitch has grass, which is not Al Khaleej's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Al Khaleej have performed like this: Played 29 matches resulting in 9 wins, 11 draws and 9 defeats with the goal stats 38-34 (scored/conceded).

These teams have little in common geographically as Al Khaleej have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
