More than Al Sailiya, Al Shahania need points to stay away from the relegation zone.
For Al Sailiya, a victory will cement their position in the top four.
Al Sailiya are not bothered by any injury worries. Coached by Tunisian Sami Trabelsi, The Peregrines have shown consistency right from the start of this season’s league competition. Their game is improving after every match.
However, their task will not be easy against Al Shahania, who have the ability to spring a surprise or two.
