The Premier League league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Al Duhail and Al Sadd are placed 4th and 3rd respectively.
It's no vacation for neither Duhail nor Al Sadd as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Al Duhail form and stats
As mentioned below, Al Duhail are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Premier League games.
A nice win for Al Duhail last time playing, versus Qatar SC. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Khaled Mohammed and Almoez Ali scoring for the victors. In the preceding match a 3-1 victory visiting Al Wakrah.
The manager H. Regragui will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Al Rayyan in only four days.
Early season league goal statistics from Al Duhail's 2 home games: 5 goals, 1 conceded.
Al Sadd form and stats
Al Sadd, who have the most scored goals (10) in Premier League, are happy with their away performances in the Premier League so far, having secured two victories and one draw from their first three travels.
Sadd has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Al Khor for a Premier League game that ended a draw (0-0).
The schedule is very tough for Sadd now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at Al Ahli is waiting in only four days.
The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Al Sadd alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (10 from 3 played). They concede less than a goal on average per away game (2 so far).
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - three - three (Duhail wins - draws - Al Sadd wins). As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.Top Goalscorers
