Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Al Sadd & Al Khor face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the QSL Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Al Sadd form and stats
Last season their QSL Cup adventure ended in the quarter-finals.Al Sadd has a nice streak going on as they have played ten consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Al Rayyan defeat 242 days ago.
Happy days for Sadd in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Al Ahli that ended with a 7-1 victory. Before that match, a Premier League win away at Al Duhail.
As indicated by the result mentioned above, Sadd played a great game against Al Ahli and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Sadd, as the QSL Cup home game vs Al Duhail is only three days away.
Al Khor form and stats
Khor was sent out of QSL Cup in the quarter-finals last season.Still no away game victory in the Premier League for Al Khor with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.

The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Khor have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 18 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Al Kharitiyath game. Al Khor are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Qatar SC fixture.
Two away games in a row for Khor, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Al Kharitiyath in the Premier League. A draw for Khor before that, at their own venue hosting Al Sadd (0-0).
