Hearts of Oak could move second with a win
Hearts of Oak have performed pretty well this season and, whilst first place is all but gone, second would be a good finish. King Faisal meanwhile will see this match as an opportunity to put some real distance between them and those near the bottom.
King Faisal have not exactly enjoyed their best Premier League campaign so far; they are 13th on the table, with just 10 wins in 31 league games this season. As a matter of fact, King Faisal managed just one win in their last 12 games across all competitions; they'll hope to improve their poor form by beating Hearts of Oak today.
