It's the second possibility for points this campaign as Al Rayyan and Qatar SC fight it out at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium.

This is a game between neighbours, usually meaning added tension and importance.

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.

Qatar SC form and stats

In total they scored 28 and conceded {30 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 1 and lost 5 with 9/17 goals scored/conceded.

There were no winners in Qatar SC's previous match, the home game that ended 4-4 vs Al Gharafa (placed 5th). It looked so good for Qatar vs Al Gharafa, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 4-4 draw. The draw against Al Gharafa came from a losing position. The Qatar SC manager Safri brought on Ngita as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.

Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Umm Salal.

Qatar are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 5 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats. From a total of 8 matches.
