Al Rayyan face Al Duhail in Week 3 of the 2022-2023 season QNB Stars League. The kick-off is at 19:35 at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium on Tuesday, August 16, 2022.

Matches between these two teams have always been full of strength and rivalry because of their distinguished players. Both teams will enter this round aiming to achieve a victory and gain the valuable three points.

Both Al Duhail and Al Rayyan have not had a desired start to the new season. While Al Duhail so far have only one point to their credit, Al Rayyan are yet to get off the mark.

Al Duhail lost their first match 2-4 to Al Wakrah and had to settle for a draw in the next against Al Ahli. Tuesday's match against Al Rayyan therefore assumes a lot of importance for last season’s runners-up and former champions. Their Argentine coach Hernan Crespo is hoping for his team to emerge as a fighting unit and get the desired results.

On the other hand, Al Rayyan surely would want to get their campaign going. They lost the first match to Al Shamal 0-1 and suffered a 1-2 result against Al Arabi at the Lusail Stadium.
Al Rayyan are counting on their players to provide the expected performance and achieve good results that satisfy the aspirations of their fans.

The clashes between Al Rayyan and Al Duhail have always been full of excitement and fiercely competitive with both teams having great strength in defence, midfield and attack.

Given the scenario, both sides are sure to battle hard. Al Rayyan's Chilean coach Nicolas Cordova said the encounter against Al Duhail is difficult, but his team’s goal is to achieve victory.
