Al Gharafa and Qatar SC meet in a situation so similar it is almost impossible to tell them apart. Both have 6 points from 7 matches, and both have just ended their last two games with defeats. Al Gharafa lost 1-2 in the AFC Champions League Elite, while Qatar SC lost 1-4 in the same competition. This game is therefore the one where both sides want to stop the disappointment right here. In the league, Al Gharafa have not won any of their last five, drawing their last two league games 0-0 and 2-2, while Qatar SC are no better off, though they did beat their opponents 3-2 in the league on 23 Oct, a game where their attack truly worked. Both teams score a fair amount but also concede plenty, especially Qatar SC, who have conceded 16 goals in 7 matches. The game is likely to be open from the start, because both sides tend to concede a lot late in games and each has an attack capable of scoring. If Qatar SC defend tightly and use the counter-attacks in the 16-30 minute window where they score often, the game has a good chance of ending close and not far apart, which is the path that keeps Al Gharafa from winning by a margin.
