Al Shahaniya form and stats
Al Shahaniya's struggle is real here with only 3 points collected from 6 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-3-3. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in eleven attempts. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points, but a victory now would be sweet for Al Shahaniya.
The home supporters saw a 2-2 draw versus Al Khor in the Premier League last time out and are looking for a win here. Prior to that, an away loss at Umm Salal in the QSL Cup.
Al Shahaniya have scored 4 league goals here from 6 matches, not a lot. Al Shahaniya have conceded 13 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Al Gharafa form and stats
Playing away, Al Gharafa have won 3 games, drawn 2 and suffered 1 defeat in the Premier League this season.
