: Defending champions Lekhwiya will adopt an attacking game-plan against bottom-placed Mesaimeer in their round 13 clash on Monday.<br />
 <br />
Fifth-placed Lekhwiya have picked up six points from their two games in which they smashed 10 goals. Al Rayyan (33), Al Sadd (24), El Jaish<br />
(23) and Al Arabi (23) are above Lekhwiya.<br />
 <br />
"I have seen how Mesaimeer play. They will defend with six players and an additional two players will drop back," assistant coach Bruno Oliveira said on Sunday.<br />
 <br />
"They don't have good individual players but as a group they play well. So we will have to be ready to play an attacking game and convert our chances when we get them," Oliveira said<br />

Oliveira said Lekhwiya wont be able to field their strongest XI on Monday.<br />
 <br />
"The preparation was more about recovery of the players because of the short gap between the matches," Oliveira said.<br />
 <br />
"We are happy because we don't have a lot of injuries. Nam Tae-Hee will miss this match because of injury and Khalid Muftah is suspended because he had received four yellow cards.<br />
 <br />
"But we don't have too many missing players which was a problem which we had earlier in the season," he added.<br />
 <br />
"Mesaimeer will be motivated and will do their best in order to get a good result against a big team. We are now looking to continue changing the image of Lekhiwya which was there at the start of the season," he said.<br />
 <br />
Mesaimeer coach Rodion Gacanin said his side is only half fit for the clash.<br />
 <br />
"This is a very difficult match at this moment. We have 5-6 players who will miss this match due to injuries and yellow cards," Gacanin said on Sunday.<br />
 <br />
"We are playing a team that have won three titles in the last four seasons and are playing very well right now. We will have to go in with a defensive strategy and look to get a draw out of this game.<br />
 <br />
"But we will still take our chances," he said.<br />
 <br />
"Lekhwiya are in good form. They will play attacking football and have players with a lot of individual quality. We don't even have our full squad. So the result will be depend on what Lekhwiya does during the game," Gacanin said.<br />
 <br />
"In matches like there is a big difference in quality between the squads, we have to focus on our defence and on closing the gaps.<br />
 <br />
"The result will depend on how long we can keep the score at 0-0. But it depends on how much concentration that our players show and for how long they can sustain it," Gacanin explained.<br />
 <br />
The game kicks off at 18:30.
