Al Ahli are eighth in the standings with 21 points, with a goal difference from Al Markhiya (seventh), and the team has collected their points by winning five matches and drawing six while losing eight of their games. They have scored 31 goals and conceded 39 goals.
Al Sailiya are in the 12th place with 10 points from two wins, four draws and 13 losses. They have managed to score 21 goals so far, but have 43 scored against them.
Al Ahli coach Nebojsa Jovovic would want his team to get a positive result to edge ahead of Al Markhiya, who are seventh in standings on goal difference, and end the season in the best position possible.
Al Ahli are counting on their distinguished attack led by Jordanian Yazan Al Naimat, who has been impressive this season, in addition to their Algerian professional Sofiane Hanni, who is one of their main forwards.
Al Sailiya coach Mirghani Al Zain would seek to correct the mistakes that occurred for his team in their recent Amir Cup semifinal match against Al Arabi which they lost 1-7.
