Lusail City host Al Shamal SC in the Stars League, with the home side sitting 8th on 5 points from 5 matches, while the visitors are 5th with 8 points from 5 matches as well. Both still need points to move up into the upper group of the table, so this is a match where both sides must take more than they currently have. Lusail City just lost at home 0-1 in their latest league match and are without a win in 2 straight, but before that they kept clean sheets in both the 4-0 win and the 0-0 draw. Al Shamal SC are also without a win in 2 straight, having just finished with a 0-0 draw in the Asian cup. Overall the two are not far apart, the difference being that Al Shamal SC score more in some matches, but they concede just as many. This game is likely to be one where both sides hold back first, because each knows that conceding first will make things harder. If Lusail City get the first goal from a home move, the game will likely close up further and be played waiting for counterattacks, but if Al Shamal SC take the lead first, the home side will have to open up and trade blows, which would change the shape of the game immediately.
