An important duel in the bottom section of the Division 1, with both Masafi and Al Urooba experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 10th and the visitors in 9th place.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
