Match kick off 18:00, Sat 14th at Abdulla bin Khalifa stadium

Lekhwiya assistant coach Albert Fernandez
“This is going to be a difficult game for us because we will be playing too many games in a short period and this will take its toll. We are playing a team who have strong players and that makes it tougher but we will try to get three points.” 
 
“We have five games left and there is a difference of four points between us and Sadd. Any mistake right now will be costly for us, and add to that we also have to concentrate on the Asian Champions League. This is the kind of situation that you want to be in as a player or as a coach. This is what we play for.”
 
“We lost two points against Wakrah because of a few mistakes but we were lucky that Sadd also drew their match against Sailiya. All teams are now fighting for something and that makes this part of the league very competitive.”
 
“Trésor will be missing because of four cards.” 
 
 
Umm Salal head coach Uygun Bülent
“Against Arabi and we tried to give the maximum but we couldn't finish the game. Now we are playing Lekhwiya, the leaders and they want to win the league. So the game will be very tough for us.”
 
“It's important for us to win against Lekhwiya. We know that they are stronger and we have some injuries and absences but we will give it our maximum. One thing's for sure, our game against Lekhwiya will be of a good quality - a good game for the fans.”
 
“If the QSL allowed four foreign players then there will be more possibilities for the teams and I believe that the level of football would be better. The QSL will be stronger as a league and that will help the national teams.”
 
“Jeremy isn’t started every game because he got injured last season and he is coming back game by game. We know his quality and we know what he can do. Sometimes I like to keep him on the bench as a tactical choice. We are playing with just three foreign players so that dictates my choices too. But we are extremely confident in his ability and we know that he will deliver when needed.”
 
“When I started with Umm Salal the situation was difficult but we have improved a lot from then. As for the up and down results, we were unlucky in a few games and didn't take the maximum points but we need to do better in our remaining games.”
