Match  Kick-off 18:00pm Tuesday March 10th Saoud Bin Abdulrahman Stadium.
 
Al Wakrah head coach Goran Tufegdžić
“This match will be against a side with good individual players who will look to control the match. It will be difficult but that's how football is and we have to deal with it. We have had only two days after our match against Arabi. The good news is that for the first time our team is complete. So we are looking to fight for each point from now on.” 
 
“I think our players can play much better. The bad results have led to players losing their self-confidence. I am trying to give confidence back to the squad. I know Wakrah can play better and it will take probably just one point to get that confidence back.”
 
“There's a lot of pressure on us right now. Our position is bad. We are getting better with each match and with just one good result our team can get out of the relegation zone.”
 
Al Wakrah player Saoud Sabah
“The game will be difficult. We are playing the league leaders; this isn’t helped because our side is in a difficult situation. Concentration will be high during the next games; we will be looking to get the maximum points.”
 
“Our team has played well. We have played games at a better level than our opponents but that hasn't translated into victories. The new coach is now giving us more confidence.”
 
“All teams are playing with pressure but the important thing is to play with concentration and that will help us deal with the pressure.”


 
Lekhwiya head coach Michael Laudrup
“We are playing matches now twice a week. There's not enough time to even enjoy the fact that we won the last match.”
 
“I expect Wakrah to be well organized, they will fight for 90 minutes to get something positive because of they are in a very difficult situation right now.”
 
“We prepare for every game, looking to win and with our current schedule it is normal that some players are starting to look tired. We controlled the last game for 90 minutes and we won. Al Sadd and Lekhwiya are in the same situation, playing a lot of games in the next few weeks.”
 
“What we can say now after 20 games is that both Lekhwiya and Sadd have had a fantastic season so far. We are 14 points ahead of Jaish – who are in third, which is a real achievement.”
