16:15 kick-off at Al Arabi Stadium

Al Duhail face Al Arabi in Week 13 of the 2021-2022 season QNB Stars League. The kick-off is at 16:15 at the Al Arabi Stadium on Saturday, 8th January, 2022.

Al Duhail and Al Arabi are top-four teams. Also, the fact that they both had dropped points in Week 12 and are keen on making amends should make it an exciting encounter.

Al Duhail were held to a 1-1 draw by Al Khor, whereas Al Arabi lost 1-2 to Al Wakrah.

Al Duhail, coached by Portuguese Luis Castro, are second in the table with 26 points, five less than reigning champions Al Sadd who have played one game less because their Week 11 fixture against Al Wakrah got postponed as many Al Wakrah players were infected with coronavirus.

The Red Knights, who have registered eight victories, two draws and as many defeats, have a goal difference of +18 (32 goals for and 14 against).

Al Arabi fell from third to fourth position as they stood on 20 points.

The Dream Team, coached by Younes Ali, have not recorded a victory ever since the league resumed in Week 10 after a 50-day break. It may be recalled that Al Arabi were held goalless by Al Gharafa in Week 10 and lost 0-2 to Umm Salal in Week 11.

Al Arabi have six wins, two draws and four defeats against their name with a goal difference of +1 (14 goals for and 13 against).
