Match Kick-off 20:15, Wed March 10^th at the Saoud bin Abdulrahman Stadium.
 
Al Kharaitiyat head coach Amar Osim
“We are playing a team that has done well in the last couple of rounds. They have had a new coach and have produced good results under him.”
 
“The teams are very closely stacked up in the table. With one victory you can gain a lot of positions while a loss, you can drop down quite a bit. But we lost against a great team.”
 
“Al Ahli has a good offensive line. They have scored a lot of goals but they have also conceded quite a few. We need to somehow stop them from scoring and we will have a chance to get some points.
We will have our strategy in place to tackle them but everybody knows that Alain Dioko is dangerous and he still scores a lot of their goals. So it's easy to say theoretically what you should do on the pitch but it is a different thing to achieve that.”
 
 
Al Ahli head coach Zlatko Krajncar
“The couple of results that we have had in the last games, including the one against Sadd has given us confidence and we hope that we will continue with that level of intensity and strength.”
 
“It's going to be a match between two teams who have had a good run of results in the previous 4 to 5 games. The confidence is high for both teams. We will continue to play well and try to get a positive result. And that will open the possibility for us to get into the top 4 or even the top 3 because Jaish lost the last game.”
 
“I believe that the quality that we have shown in the past few games will help us get into the top 4. I am trying to put that into the minds of my players too.”
 
“With respect to Dioko, Al Ahli is not just about Dioko. He's a great player. But the results that we have are because of a team effort. Even if the opposition close down Dioko, there is other players like Meshal Abdullah for example, who are more than capable of doing the job. We're a team with a lot of high quality players.”
