Thanks to a largely full-strength squad, there’s only the sole fitness worry for the Al-Shahania gaffer to be concerned with. Marc Muniesa (Torn thigh muscle) won’t be playing here.

🧠 Prediction

We believe that Al-Shahania should get enough chances to find the back of the net against this Al-Gharafa team, although it may not quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We’re going for both teams to score in a 2-1 advantage for Al-Gharafa at the end of the 90 minutes. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
