An important duel in the bottom section of the Division 1, with both Hottain and Al Ansar experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 18th and the visitors in 16th place.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
These teams have little in common geographically as Al Ansar have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Hottain's struggle is real here at King Faisal Sport City Stadium with only 12 points collected from 14 Division 1 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-3-8. Three consecutive losses here at King Faisal Sport City Stadium is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
In the preceding match a 3-1 victory visiting Al Khaleej.
