This match features two teams living in the basement of the Division 1, Al Taqdom holding 17th place and Al Khaleej lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Division 1 match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Al Jabalain.

Relegation threatens Taqdom who should definitely be looking for some points here. Al Khaleej are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
