It's time for cup football and it's the QSL Cup Group Stage between Umm Salal and Al Shahaniya. Here's the biggest preview available before kick-off:

Umm Salal and Al Shahaniya should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

Umm Salal form and stats

Umm Salal was eliminated in the group stage last season in the QSL Cup.

Umm Salal have collected 3 points from their Premier League home games so far after 1-0-3. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Umm Salal with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Al Shahaniya game, 63 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Umm Salal are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Saoud bin Abdulrahman Stadium, having lost their two previous games here.

Umm Salal manager A. Ben Askar and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Al Sadd in the QSL Cup. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Al Rayyan that ended 2-2.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Umm Salal have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won 2 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.

Umm Salal aren't scoring a lot here at Saoud bin Abdulrahman Stadium in the league, with only 3 goals from 4 games. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Umm Salal having conceded 12 goals here at Saoud bin Abdulrahman Stadium so far. Umm Salal's defense is seriously deficient as 12 goals have been conceded in these matches.

Al Shahaniya form and stats

They also participated in QSL Cup last season. This ended in the group stage.

The story so far for the visiting team on their Premier League travels is 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. Al Shahaniya are desperate to end a ten-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Al Gharafa fixture.

Al Shahaniya failed to get anything from their last game, a QSL Cup home match vs Al Ahli that ended with defeat 1-2. Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Al Wakrah.

Al Shahaniya are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats. From a total of two matches.

Al Shahaniya find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 5 goals from 5 away fixtures in the league. Al Shahaniya have conceded 10 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Last seven meetings between the teams: Umm Salal won 1, Al Shahaniya won 2 and 4 draws. 4 games with over 2,5 goals, 3 matches with two goals or less.
