Al Rayyan and Al-Arabi SC meet in the league where neither has lost yet this season, but their pre-match form is clearly different. Al Rayyan just thrashed their opponents 4-1 in the Asian cup competition, following a 6-1 league win, while Al-Arabi SC just lost at home 2-3 to a slightly superior opponent. Al Rayyan are the team that has conceded the fewest goals of these two, conceding just 3 goals in 7 matches, and are still unbeaten in the league. Al-Arabi SC have scored about the same with 16 goals, but their defense is clearly leakier, conceding 8 goals, and they just shipped 2-3 at home in their latest match. The unsettled defense is the point that puts the home side at a disadvantage in this matchup. This game is likely to be open and end-to-end from the start, because both have attacking games that have been scoring heavily in recent matches, but Al Rayyan have the advantage of a much tighter defense. If Al Rayyan can take the lead first, the game is likely to flow toward the away side who can control the situation more comfortably. What to watch is how Al-Arabi SC cope with Al Rayyan's counter-attacks in the early part of the game.
