Al Arabi face Al Markhiya in Round 3 of Group B of the Ooredoo Cup 2022-2023 season on Sunday, 2nd October. The kick-off is at 19.15 at the Al Ersal 2 Stadium.

Both Al Arabi and Al Markhiya go into the match with a strong desire to win. While Al Arabi are currently third in the group standings with three points, Al Markhiya are bottom-placed with one point from a 1-1 draw in the last round against Al Rayyan.

Al Arabi will be looking to return to winning ways after losing 2-3 to Al Duhail in the last round.

Al Arabi coach Younes Ali, while trying to win the Ooredoo Cup, is also ironing out flaws in his team, so they return to the league championship more stronger.

Al Markhiya, under Qatari coach Abdullah Mubarak, would want to take advantage of their last drawn game with Al Rayyan and go into the clash with Al Arabi with renewed confidence and approach to gain the three points and improve their position to move forward.
