Al-Gharafa

WDDWLL ⚖

Al-Gharafa will be hoping to bounce back here after the 5-0 Stars League defeat last time out to Qatar SC.

Javi Martínez (50') scored for Qatar SC.

It’s been all too rare in recent times that Al-Gharafa haven’t conceded. In fact, Al-Gharafa have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 15 goals during that time.

Al-Arabi

WLWDWW

Al-Arabi will come into the game following a 1-2 Stars League win with the downing of Al-Wakrah in their most recent match.

The only name on the scoresheet from Al-Arabi was Youssef Msakni (31', 68'). Mohamed Benyettou (45') scored for Al-Wakrah.

The numbers tell their own story, and Al-Arabi have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 7 goals overall. At the back, Al-Arabi can certainly do much better. While that may be of interest, we will just have to wait and see if the trend will continue on in this next match.
