This could be an interesting match as Al Ahli have their presumed home advantage while Al Sadd are ahead 16 points in the Premier League table.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Ahli are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Al Sadd are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
Al Ahli form and stats
2-4-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Al Ahli so far this season. Three draws in a row here at Grand Hamad Stadium for Ahli, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.
No payout for Ahli in their previous match, an away game at Al Shahaniya that ended in defeat 1-3.
Ahli has scored 12 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Ahli defense is not exactly impregnable. 16 goals conceded from 9 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Al Sadd form and stats
5-1-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Al Sadd, who have the most scored goals (47) in Premier League, in their Premier League matches away.
Impressive finishing from Akram Afif (2) secured the home win 2-1 against Al Khor in their previous game. A 0-1 defeat away at Al Rayyan before that.
The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Sadd alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (27 from 9 played). Sadd's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 14 goals from these trips.
