The round 12 clash between Al Rayyan and Al Sadd on December 8, 2015, promises to be a thriller as the two sides seek consistency in their performances at the halfway stage of the season.<br />
 <br />
Last week, points leaders Al Rayyan consolidated their position at the top by beating Al Gharafa 2-0 whereas title hopefuls and third-placed Al Sadd lost ground on their rivals with a shock defeat.<br />
 <br />
Playing their first game under new coach Ferreira Gesualdo, Al Sadd went down to Al Sailiya 2-1 on Friday.<br />
 <br />
The clash at Al Sadd Stadium this week will be the biggest game of the season as the giants of the sport in Qatar go head-to-head in a game that will kick-off at 18:30.<br />
 <br />
Coach Jorge Fossati - who has seen his side stitch 11 consecutive wins this season - will be eager to see his main architect of his wins Rodrigo Tabata leading from the front.<br />
 <br />
Tabata on Saturday scored during his side's 2-0 win over Al Gharafa.<br />
It was the influential striker's 12th goal of the season.<br />
 <br />
In what could be a major test of resolve for struggling Al Sadd, Al Rayyan's strike force of Tabata and Sebastian Soria could be unstoppable under lights at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium.
