Umm Salal coach Raul Caneda spoke to the media ahead of their 2019-20 QNB Stars League Week 6 match against Al Shahania.

“Al Shahania are improving after every game. Their players are great fighters, so I expect a keen battle. This game is very important for us.

“We respect Al Shahania and know that they’ll try to score their first points. We hope all our players will be ready for the game.

“We won three points last week and if we win this week too, we’ll be in a better position. I’ve spoken to the players and asked them to do their best to win because these three points are very important to us,” said Caneda.
