Al Sadd go into this match after a 0-3 defeat in the AFC Champions League Elite in midweek, while Al-Arabi SC have just lost 0-2 in the Qatar League CUP, so the league game feels very different for both sides from their most recent outing. In the league Al Sadd are on a winning run, winning all 4 matches, scoring 19 goals, and they recently thrashed their opponents 6-3 at home on 10 Sep. Al-Arabi SC are also unbeaten in the league, but they have drawn as many as 3 of 4 matches and scored only 5 goals, so their attack is not as sharp as the hosts'. The pattern over the last 10 matches shows Al Sadd create more chances (7.6 shots on target per game versus 4.88), while Al-Arabi SC have slightly more possession (58.3% versus 55.7%) but finish less. This match is therefore likely to be one where the hosts let their opponents have the ball and wait for the moment to counter-attack. The first thing to watch after kick-off is how well Al-Arabi SC cope with the speed of Al Sadd's counter-attacks.
