Qatar SC form and stats

Qatar faced defeat in their previous match, away at Al Duhail (1-2).
Early season league goal statistics from Qatar SC's 1 home game: 1 goal, 0 conceded.
Umm Salal form and stats
It's not happening yet for Umm Salal on their Premier League travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Umm Salal's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Umm Salal lost away at Al Arabi (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Before that, Salal travelled to Al Ahli and returned home with a draw after the QSL Cup game finished 1-1.
Salal were so close to getting something from the game against Al Arabi, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal four minutes into overtime.
Umm Salal are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. The Salal manager A. Ben Askar has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.
