Al Shabab and Al Ahli are both riding high in the Pro League with their 3rd and 5th positions respectively. Expect a great game!
The visiting Al Ahli played their last game only four days ago, a Pro League match. That game was also an away game, at Al Feiha. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary. Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game! Al Ahli have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
