Al Sadd VS  Al Kharaitiyat, December 19, 18:30 at the Thani bin Jassim stadium
 
Al Sadd coach Hussein Ammouta:
“After the defeat against Shahania we need a big reaction from our players. We need to forget what happened. We lost because of the mistakes that we made. This game needs 100 per cent concentration. We need to continue to create opportunities to score and convert them. “
 
“Our last game wasn't bad but we made some mistakes that gave the opponents chances to score. We were in the opponent’s area 52 times against their 17 times. We made more passes than them. There was a big gap in the stats but they were more efficient. We still have a chance to come back strong, we only need to concentrate and focus during the game.”
 


Kharaitiyat interim coach - Yasser Al Sibaei:
“For me it’s going to be the first game with the team. The ambition of the team’s management is to be in a good place in the rankings. I will try to continue working with the team in order to fulfill that goal. This won't be an easy game. We are playing the joint leaders in the table. We have the quality to stop Sadd and end on a high before the break comes.”
 
“We aren’t scoring enough goals this season. We need to resolve it quickly. I have had only four days with the team before the Al Sadd game. We will work on that after this match. Only seven goals this season, is not enough to do well in the games. It's better to lose a few rather than end up with so many draws.”
 
“Al Sadd is coming from a defeat against Al Shahaniya. We need to use that situation and ensure we don't give them a chance to react against us. They have lost five points in the last two matches so they will come at us strongly. But we also have the ambition to fight for the points.”
