Struggling Al Wakrah will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Al Sadd in the upcoming league round. It’s 9th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Al Sadd form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most scored goals (26) in Premier League, on their Premier League travels is 3 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
It's the second away game in a row for Al Sadd, but there's smiles all around after the 5-1 victory versus Al Gharafa (placed 3rd) in the Premier League last time out. A 2-6 loss hosting ES Tunis before that.
As mentioned above, Al Sadd was the only team on the pitch versus Al Gharafa in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task. It's hard not to mention Akram Afif's lethal finishing against Al Gharafa. 3 goals was a big reason for the three points.
The schedule is very tough for Al Sadd now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at Al Arabi is waiting in only four days.
