Al-Khor
LLLLLL ☠

Thanks to a largely available squad, there’s just the one fitness issue for the Al-Khor gaffer Bernard Casoni to be concerned about. Khaled Masoud Karib (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out for this game.

Prediction
One thing is for certain, Al-Khor will surely find it tough to be putting goals past a Al-Rayyan outfit who have the quality to dominate proceedings.
We can see a 3-0 victory for Al-Rayyan by the conclusion of the match.
