Since a loss in their previous game against Al-Gharafa in Stars League competition, Al-Arabi and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that game, Al-Arabi managed 48% possession and 10 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. Al-Gharafa got 15 shots at goal with 8 of them on target. Yacine Brahimi (45') and Joselu (76') scored for Al-Gharafa.

Indicating their involvement in productive encounters, we’ve had goals 21 times in the prior 6 games in which Al-Arabi have sent out their troops, yielding a mean average of 3.5 goals per meeting. Opposition teams have managed 10 of this grand total. Let’s find out if that trend can be sustained into this next match.

✨ Prediction

In this game, Al-Duhail will most probably stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

In contrast, Al-Arabi may well find it hard to score but we do fancy them hitting back at some stage, too.

We reckon that it will be a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning score for Al-Duhail come full-time.
