National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Qatar SC or Al Khor that keep their silverware dream alive.
Qatar SC form and stats
Last season their QSL Cup adventure ended in the group stage.The story so far in the Premier League for Qatar SC at their home stadium (Saoud Bin Abdulrahman Stadium) is 5 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats.
In their previous game, the manager J. Mannarino led his Qatar to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Al Sadd. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Saoud Bin Abdulrahman Stadium.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Premier League home game that ended 1-1 versus Al Ahli.Qatar have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Saoud Bin Abdulrahman Stadium with 17 goals in 11 league matches. From these home matches, Qatar have conceded only 9 goals.
Al Khor form and stats
They also participated in QSL Cup last season. This ended in the quarter-finals.There's been little loot from Al Khor's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 11 away games in the Premier League. Al Khor only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 4 draws. With three draws in a row for Khor the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Al Rayyan in their previous outing. The Premier League match ended in a draw 1-1.
Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Al Duhail.The attacking power of Al Khor when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 11 league matches away. Al Khor are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 9 goals in these matches.
