The Al Khor Stadium will host the match between Al Khor and Al Sadd in Week 10 of the 2024-2025 season Ooredoo Stars League on Friday, November 22, 2024. The kick-off is at 4pm.
Al Khor are in the 12th and last place in the standings with four points from as many draws, five defeats and no wins so far.
They are in dire need of collecting the largest possible number of points and improving their position in the standings, but their mission will not be easy against Al Sadd, who aspire to advance in the standings and not lose any points.
On the other hand, Al Sadd currently occupy the second position in the standings, having accumulated 18 points from six victories and three defeats. The team boast of the second most effective attacking line-up, with a total of 26 goals scored. They trail league leaders Al Duhail by four points after nine rounds of competition.
The outcome of the upcoming match is crucial for both teams. Al Sadd aim to extend their winning streak having won their last four encounters, against Al Gharafa, Al Shahaniya, Al Wakrah and Al Rayyan in that order. Conversely, Al Khor are determined to secure a favourable result against the reigning champions.
Al Khor are expected to be formidable opponents bolstered by the readiness of key players, particularly the attacking pair of Yohan Boli and Aymen Hussein. Under the guidance of Tunisian Mehdi Nafti, they aspire to deliver an impressive performance.
Meanwhile, Al Sadd, under Spaniard Felix Sanchez, are focused on maximizing their points and closing the gap with Al Duhail. Despite facing several injuries to key players, they possess capable substitutes who can step in and maintain a high level of performance.
