Al-Sailiya

LLDLLL 📉

Al-Sailiya will be wanting a better result here following the 5-0 Stars League defeat in their last game at the hands of Al-Wakrah.

Lucas Mendes (37', 52'), Mohamed Benyettou (64'), Khalid Muneer (67') and Gelson Dala (74') scored for Al-Wakrah.

It’s been seldom in recent games that Al-Sailiya haven’t conceded. In fact, Al-Sailiya have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 games, giving up 17 goals on the way. That aside, we will just have to wait and see if that pattern shall be maintained in this match.
