The hosts should be well-rested for the game because it will be their first game in eleven days. Head coach Luis Castro isn’t expected to make any significant changes to the starting lineup as they don’t currently have any new injuries.
Faris Ad-Dahna’s performance has declined lately; in their last 11 games, across all competitions, they have only won once. They could have trouble here because they haven’t scored in six of their last seven away games across all competitions.
