From the first offical matches of the season both teams seem to be doing well were they both started with two comfortable victories. At this stage of the competition, this is a very important match for both teams since it will decide if they will continue in the quarter-final stage of the competition or be eliminated. It is a 'death-match' situation where only a couple of results are acceptable for both teams.
As it is the situation the story is more complex for Rabat since only a victory result will do for them. A victory for them would mean that they finish lonely in the first place of this group and leaving Lija in second place. On the other hand Lija have the advantage to play for two type of results, that is a draw or a victory. A victory will send Lija lonely in the first place of this group and leave Rabat in second place. If they manage to obtain a draw they would still finish in top place due to better goal difference when compared to their next opponents Rabat.
