NextGOAL tip: Al Shahaniya -0.25 · 3 stars
This is a mid-table Stars League game where both teams need points to move up into the upper group. Al Shahaniya, the home side, have 4 points from 4 matches; their latest league game just ended in a 1-1 share of the points after they had lost at home 2-4 before that. Lusail City, meanwhile, have 5 points from 4 matches and are still unbeaten in the league. Al Shahaniya have opened the season scoring but also conceding plenty, with 7 scored and 9 conceded from 4 matches, while Lusail City have scored the same 7 goals but conceded only 4, so their defence looks steadier, and their latest league game ended goalless at 0-0 after the previous match had opened up into a 3-3 finish. The pattern of play between the two teams should be fairly even. Both have similar possession over their last ten games, with Al Shahaniya on 46.2% and Lusail City on 47.8%, but the home side have slightly more shots on target at 5.2 per game compared with 4.9 for the visitors. If Al Shahaniya get the first goal from an attack that has started to look sharper in the second half, the game should open up immediately, because Lusail City will have to push up to chase the goal, and that will give the home side space to use on the counter.
