Al Gharafa are chasing the top table positions while Al Sailiya are more concerned with escaping relegation. Expected home win or surprise away points?
- Al Gharafa have the most clean sheets (6) in Premier League
- Al Sailiya have the most conceded goals in the second half (13) in Premier League
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
These are busy days for the team playing at home, as they played only four days ago in the Premier League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Al Arabi, was also a home game. The away team is better rested.

Al Sailiya form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Al Sailiya so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 1-0-6 (win-draw-lose). Bitter travels for Sailiya as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Al Shamal match.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Sailiya, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Al Ahli (placed 8th). Sailiya were so close to getting something from the game against Al Ahli, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal seven minutes into overtime.
Prior to that result Al Sailiya won their away game at Qatar SC in the QSL Cup. The scoreline was 3-0.Looking at the earlier recent performances of Sailiya when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing zero and winning zero games.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sailiya as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. The Sailiya manager Trabelsi has some worries about the defense as 17 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's four Gharafa victories, zero draws and six Al Sailiya wins. Over/under statistics; eight of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
