Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Al Ahli & Al Wakrah face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the QSL Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Al Ahli form and stats
Last season their QSL Cup adventure ended in the group stage.Al Ahli have played 4 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-2-2 (wins-draws-losses). All in all it has been a very rough period for Al Ahli who hasn’t won a league-game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Al Kharitiyath, 219 days ago.
The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus Al Shamal in the Premier League last time out and are looking for a win here.
Prior to that, an away loss at Al Sadd in the Premier League.The lack of attacking qualities in Ahli means that they have only scored 1 goal in 4 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Ahli have only conceded 3 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Al Wakrah form and stats
Wakrah's mission in QSL Cup last season failed in the semi-finals.As the visiting team in Premier League matches, Al Wakrah have produced an overall stat of 3-1-0 so far. When we have look at the QSL Cup statistics, we find 2W-0D-1L. This is both home and away.
Al Wakrah might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Umm Salal proved too strong as Al Wakrah slumped to a 1-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Stadium.
Preceding that game was the away Premier League victory against Al Gharafa with the score of 1-0.Wakrah have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 4 league away games 4 goals have been scored. Al Wakrah's manager B. Márquez López has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 1 conceded goal.
