This match features two teams living in the basement of the Premier League, Al Khor holding 10th place and Qatar SC lying 9th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
Al Khor and Qatar SC should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Al Khor form and stats
Al Khor's results here at Al-Khwar Stadium in the Premier League have been very modest with 2 victories, 1 draw and 5 defeats.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Al Rayyan in the Premier League last time out and are looking for a win here. Before that, Al Khor drew at home versus Al Rayyan (after extra-time, 6-7 on penalties).
This is expected to be a close game, with Al Khor perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Al Khor as a small favourite), we find eight games. Al Khor has won six of these, drawn two and lost zero.
Al Khor are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 8 games. Al Khor are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (16 from 8 played).
Qatar SC form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most clean sheets (4) away in Premier League, on their Premier League travels is 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. Two points from the last two away games for Qatar SC, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.
The attacking players of Qatar SC have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 425 minutes.
The manager W. Rizk was unhappy after their last game, a Premier League match played at their home ground Suheim Bin Hamad Stadium (Qatar SC Stadium). Qatar SC suffered a 0-1 loss to Al Sailiya (placed 6th). Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Al Sadd (after extra-time, 4-5 on penalties).
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Qatar SC playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were one Qatar SC win, zero draws and three defeats.
Qatar SC have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 8 goals have been scored. Qatar SC have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
