Al Sadd face Al Shamal in Week 6 of the 2022-2023 season QNB Stars League. The kick-off is at 18:10 at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium on Tuesday, 6th September, 2022.

Both teams will clash in the first match of an action-packed week. Only a point separates Al Sadd and Al Shamal.

Both sides have players with abilities to make a difference and translate their coach’s instructions into supremacy, control and goals.

Al Sadd, who are motivated by their recent win over Al Sailiya, are currently placed sixth with seven points (two wins, as many losses and one draw), while Al Shamal are ranked eighth with six points (two victories and three defeats).

Indications highlight that the winning chances of Al Sadd are more given the history of the teams in general in all local competitions. But that could well be more on paper than on the pitch as Al Shamal too have emerged as a challenging side.

Al Sadd, under new coach Juan Maneul Lillo ‘Juanma’, are looking for a second successive victory in order to reach double figures in the points tally ahead of facing Al Wakrah in Week 7.

In contrast, Al Shamal are eager to find their winning ways after their last two defeats (to Al Arabi and Qatar SC).

Al Shamal coach Hisham Zahid has been working with his team to find out ways to achieve the breakthrough and return to the positive methods they began the season with (they beat Al Rayyan 1-0 in Week 1 and Al Gharafa 2-1 in Week 3).
