Saham host Al-Nahda on Friday, Oct 23 at 5:20 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 2 points in the Professional League, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Saham come into this fixture in good form (3W 0D 2L recently). Al-Nahda travel in mixed form (2W 1D 0L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Saham face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Al-Nahda have won 8 of 10 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Saham won 1–0.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Saham a slight edge, but Al-Nahda are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
