Al Taqdom hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 22 points and a 20th position in the Division 1 table. Visiting Al-Thuqbah holds 10th place with 40 pts.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
