Match begins: 12:30 (UTC)

There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Division 1 table so far. Here's the Najran - Al Nahdha latest:

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.

Al Nahdha have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
