DLDLWL

Al-Duhail will be wanting a better result here following a 2-0 Stars League losing effort in their last game against Al-Rayyan.

In that match, Al-Duhail had 64% possession and 11 shots on goal with 2 on target. On the other side, Al-Rayyan got 7 shots at goal with 2 on target. Róger Guedes (80', 86') was the scorer for Al-Rayyan.

It has been seldom in recent games that Al-Duhail have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Al-Duhail have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 11 goals during that time. We will just have to see if that trend will be continued on in this game.

💡 Prediction

Our feeling is that Al-Duhail would be disappointed if they were not to get a goal against this Al-Sadd lineup, although just one goal is unlikely to prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We can see both teams to score in a 1-2 victory for Al-Sadd at the end of this one. It should be a decent one.
