Al Wakrah and Al Gharafa meet so often that they know each other's game well, especially their last meeting, which ended in a goalless draw. This time, though, both come in under rather different conditions, because each side is still searching for its rhythm in the league. Al Wakrah have not won any league game in 4 matches, picking up just 2 points, scoring 4 and conceding 9. Their defence is clearly a problem, especially late in games, when they concede more than at any other stage. Al Gharafa are not much better, with 4 points from 4 matches, scoring 4 and conceding 8, but they have just won 4-2 in the cup, which has brought some confidence back. This game should open up with both sides trading blows from the start, because both teams tend to concede more than they score, and neither looks likely to sit deep for real. The thing to watch is how much Al Gharafa can start the game with the confidence from their last match.
