Al Ahli face Al Wakrah in Week 6 of the 2022-2023 season QNB Stars League. The kick-off is at 20:20 at the Grand Hamad Stadium on Wednesday, 7th September, 2022.

The clash is expected to draw fans of both clubs in large numbers, given the absorbing contest and the battle to clinch three points to consolidate their strong positions in the standings.

Al Wakrah are currently second with 11 points (three wins and two draws), while Al Ahli are fourth with eight points (two wins, as many draws and one loss).

Al Wakrah were held to a goalless draw in their last match by Al Markhiya and their coach Marquez Lopez would be keen on the team returning to winning ways against Al Ahli.

But Al Ahli have scored nine goals in the league so far. They were involved in a thrilling 3-3 draw against Al Gharafa in their previous match and as such The Brigadiers will be a tough side for Al Wakrah to challenge.

Al Ahli coach Nebojsa Jovovic will, however, miss the duo of Shojae Khalilzadeh and Mohammed Al Ishaq, who were sent off during the clash against Al Gharafa.

That should provide Al Wakrah the opportunity to exploit Al Ahli’s weaknesses if any during the match.
