Al Rayyan defeated Al Sailiya 2-0, while Al Shahania lost 0-1 to Qatar SC in Week 9.

Al Shahania will be keen to improve their position as they lie at the bottom of the table with three points.

Al Arabi are fifth with 14 points and Al Sailiya seventh with 11 points.

Middle-order teams in the table Al Wakrah, eighth with nine points, are sure to throw everything into the game when they play host to Al Ahli, who defeated Umm Salal 1-0 in the last round and moved from seventh to sixth position with 13 points.

Al Khor, 10th with five points, will have a tough task when they host Al Duhail, who are leading the standings with 23 points.

Reigning champions Al Sadd, fourth with 15 points, will target nothing less than three points when they travel to Al Gharafa Stadium to face Qatar SC, placed ninth with nine points.

Al Sadd lost 1-4 to Al Duhail in a clash of titans, whereas Qatar SC beat Al Shahania 1-0 in Week 9.

Al Gharafa, who got the better of Al Khor by a 3-1 margin last week to climb from fourth to third spot with 17 points, play host to Umm Salal, who crashed to their sixth defeat with a 0-1 loss to Al Ahli to stay 11th with five points, in the last fixture.
