Tonight's Stars League game at Al Sadd, where they host Al Duhail, is a match both teams need points from to close in on the top of the table. Al Sadd are already sitting in 2nd, while Al Duhail follow in 4th and are in a run of consistently good results. The hosts have just lost 0-2 in the AFC Champions League Elite, following a 2-3 league defeat, so their recent results in the league and cup have been up and down, but their league attack can still be trusted, especially the 6-3 thrashing early in September. Al Duhail, meanwhile, are unbeaten in 5 straight and have just won 3-0 in the GCC Champions League, conceding only 3 goals in their last 5 games, though away games against the big teams remain a different kind of test. The pattern is likely to be Al Sadd dominating the ball and pushing high in the style that has been measurable over their last 10 games, while Al Duhail wait to counter and use their advantage early in the second half. The first thing to watch is how quickly Al Sadd can settle their defence after conceding cheaply lately, because if they let the visitors score first, the game will swing in a completely different direction.
