๐ Form Guide
Al-Gharafa
WDDWLW
Al-Gharafa, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 1-4 Stars League victory over Al-Duhail.
In that game, Al-Gharafa had 46% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. For Al-Gharafa, the goalscorers were Yacine Brahimi (14', 55', 82') and Ferjani Sassi (64'). For their opponents, Al-Duhail got 9 attempts at goal with 1 on target. Michael Olunga (19') scored for Al-Duhail.
Al-Gharafa have been finding it hard to keep clean sheets recently, but they have also done enough to hit the back of the net themselves. Analysis of their previous 6 games shows that Al-Gharafa have been punished defensively in 6 of them while also getting on the scoresheet in 6 of those matches.
Al-Sadd
WWLWDW
Al-Sadd come into this game following a 3-0 Stars League win as they beat Qatar SC in their last outing.
In that match, Al-Sadd managed 62% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 5 on target. The only player to score for Al-Sadd was Akram Afif (34', 44', 45'). Qatar SC got 17 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target.
The trend of at least one team drawing a blank in games featuring Al-Sadd has become fairly consistent recently. Checking on their last six meetings shows that it has occurred 5 times. In those clashes, their opponents have hit a goal total of 2 and Al-Sadd have scored 16. That sort of trend isnโt assured to be sustained into this next game, of course.
๐ค๐ค Head to head
Inspecting their past head to head meetings going back to 03/04/2021 shows that Al-Gharafa have won 1 of these games & Al-Sadd 5, with the number of drawn games being 0.
A lot of goals were also scored during this period, 29 in total at an average of 4.83 goals per match.
The previous league fixture between the two was Stars League match day 5 on 28/09/2023 which finished with the scoreline of Al-Sadd 4-0 Al-Gharafa.
On that day, Al-Sadd had 53% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. The scorers were Akram Afif (27'), Hassan Al Haydos (30') and Ali Assadalla (54', 60').

โน๏ธ Team News: Al-Gharafa
Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the Al-Gharafa manager Pedro Martins to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed set of players. Mostafa Essam (unknown injury) wonโt play. Seydou Sano is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
๐ฐ Team News: Al-Sadd
Thanks to a fully injury-free group to choose from, the Al-Sadd manager Wesam Rizik Abdulmajid has zero fitness worries to speak of coming into this game.
๐ฎ Prediction
Our pre-match assessment is that Al-Sadd should create a good amount of chances and successful shots on target.
At the same time, Al-Gharafa may well find it hard scoring goals of their own- but, we do see them hitting back at some stage here, too.
Weโre therefore expecting to see a fairly comfortable 1-3 winning margin for Al-Sadd come full-time.
Our expert partners are tipping over 1.5 goals for this match. Check out their VIP predictions here.
