Al Wahda fights Al Raed fray

Al Raed have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Al Wahda and Al Raed 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.

Wahda played out a slightly shocking defeat 0-4 against Al Nassr in their previous outing, also played at home. As you see from the result above, Al Wahda suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
