Kalba host Al Jazira in a league game where the two sides are in clearly different situations. The hosts are bottom of the table and need points to steady themselves, while the visitors lead at the top and want to keep the gap for as long as possible. Kalba lost their most recent league match, but before that they picked up a home win, and their defence remains a problem that follows them into every game. Al Jazira, meanwhile, are unbeaten in several matches in a row, defend tightly and control the rhythm of the ball far more clearly. This game will likely see Al Jazira hold the ball and push forward as the main aggressor, while Kalba set up in a block and wait to counter. If Kalba score first the game opens up immediately, but if the visitors take the lead, the hosts may have to push higher and risk being hit again.
