Al Sadd and Al Shamal SC meet in the Stars League, with the hosts having just finished their AFC Champions League Elite match with a 1-1 draw, while the visitors recently won 3-1 in the same competition. The two teams therefore come into this in very different moods, but both have similar points of interest. Al Sadd are still a team that scores a lot and concedes a fair amount this season (27 scored, 13 conceded in 7 matches). The attack has quality, but the defence shows gaps often. Meanwhile, Al Shamal SC clearly score less (12 goals in 7 matches) but concede about the same as the hosts, and recently lost 0-4 in the league not long ago. The pattern of play therefore suggests the hosts will have more of the ball and push forward. If Al Sadd score first, the game is likely to open up immediately, because both sides tend to concede late in matches, and Al Shamal SC themselves do not sit overly deep. The game could end with a scoreline that is not too far apart, as has often been the case.
