๐ Form Guide
Al-Markhiya
LLWDLL
Al-Markhiya wonโt want a repeat of their last result here after the 1-2 Stars League defeat in their last game at the hands of Qatar SC.
In that game, Al-Markhiya had 55% possession and 16 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. At the other end, Qatar SC got 11 shots on goal with 3 on target. Javi Martรญnez (48') and Abdullah Al-Ahrak (58') scored for Qatar SC.
It has not been often in recent times that Al-Markhiya have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Al-Markhiya have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 13 goals during that time. Historical results aside, we must now wait to see whether that trend will persist in this game.
