Qatar SC will host Al Wakrah in Week 7 of the 2024-2025 season Ooredoo Stars League at the Suhaim Bin Hamad Stadium of Qatar SC on Saturday, October 19, 2024. The kick-off is at 7.30pm.

Both teams approach the match with the objective of securing three points to further their progress this season and improve their standings. The Kings seek to distance themselves from the lower ranks, currently positioned 11th with only four points from six matches.

They have managed just one victory, which came against Al Shamal, alongside one draw and four losses. They have scored six goals while conceding 17, a concerning statistic given the presence of notable players, particularly in the defensive line.

With coach Youssef Safri taking up the role before the fourth week, Qatar SC are hopeful that the upcoming match against Al Wakrah will mark the beginning of a significant turnaround and a fresh start in the league. The third and fourth rounds of the QSL Cup provided an opportunity to rectify their course and restore the team’s competitive edge.

Qatar SC boast a roster filled with high-calibre players across all positions, including Badr Benoun, Javi Martinez, Ibrahim Majed, Sebastian Soria, Ahmed Abdelkader, Carlinhos, Raoul Sanda and Ben Malango.

Conversely, Al Wakrah enter the match with aspirations of maintaining their winning streak in the league and delivering strong performances under the guidance of coach Ali Rahma Al Marri.

Al Wakrah currently hold the third position in the standings, accumulating 11 points from three victories, two draws and a single loss. The team has netted nine goals while conceding six, showcasing a formidable offensive line-up featuring Ricardo Gomez, Jacinto Dala and Ayoub Assal.

Al Marri expresses his aspiration for the team to maintain their impressive performances and secure a third consecutive victory in the league, a goal he has pursued since assuming his role prior to the match against Al Rayyan in Week 5.

In the sixth week, Umm Salal played out a 2-2 draw against Qatar SC, while Al Wakrah achieved a 3-1 victory over Al Khor.
