BEIRUT: It is one of Arab football’s biggest derbies, a rivalry no less passionate than those between Al-Ahly and Zamalek, Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr, or Wydad v. Raja.
This weekend will see the 74th meeting between the Lebanese Premier League’s two most popular clubs, Nejmeh SC and Al-Ansar, in what is inevitably a closely fought fixture.
The record in the Beirut derby stands at 23 wins each, with the teams drawing on 27 occasions in the Premier League, although Al-Ansar holds the overall head-to-head advantage, having three more wins across all competitions.
