National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Al Adalh or Al Shoalah that keep their silverware dream alive.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Al Adalh form and stats
Last season their Kings Cup adventure ended in the 32nd finals.Al Adalh have played 6 Pro League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). It's trouble wherever Al Adalh are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
The fans are hoping that Al Adalh will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-7 away loss in the Pro League game against Al Hilal. Prior to that, an away loss at Al Raed in the Pro League.
Al Adalh were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Al Adalh have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Stadium Sport City with 11 goals in 6 league matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Al Adalh with 12 goals conceded in these matches.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Al Mojzel in just four days.
