The visiting Al Rayyan side should be favourites in this visit to Al Khor, as the away team holds a 21 point advantage from their 14 league games this season.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Al Khor form and stats
With 2 Premier League wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Al Khor are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Al Khor drew their last game, also a home match. Al Rayyan (after extra-time, 6-7 on penalties) (placed 2nd) was the opponent, 1-1 the score. Preceding that game was the away draw at Al Ahli that finished 2-2.
Al Khor has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Al Khor are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (15 from 7 played).
Al Rayyan form and stats
Al Rayyan's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Al Rayyan, who have the most clean sheets (7) in Premier League, collect 16 points from their 7 away matches in the Premier League. 5 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 1 defeat).
Al Rayyan are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Al Khor (after extra-time, 6-7 on penalties) (placed 10th). A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Al Duhail.
Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 18 goals in 7 league games away this season. As opposed to that, Al Rayyan have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.
