Football betting preview: Al Ahli favourites when Al Feiha visits

Al Ahli and Al Feiha should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Al Feiha have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 7-7-9 (win-draw-loss) from 23 matches.

These teams have little in common geographically as Al Feiha have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
