16:45 kick-off at Khalifa International Stadium

Al Gharafa face Umm Salal in Week 4 of the 2021-2022 season QNB Stars League. The kick-off is at 16:45 at the Khalifa International Stadium on Monday, 27th September, 2021.

Andrea Stramaccioni-coached Al Gharafa had finished fourth in the last two seasons and their aim will not be different this time around.

The Cheetahs, currently placed third in the QNB Stars League standings with six points, started off with a 2-0 win over Al Shamal and followed it up with a 1-0 victory over Al Ahli.

However, Al Gharafa lost 1-3 to Al Duhail in a high-profile match in the last round.

Umm Salal are sixth with three points, having drawn all their games so far (2-2 with Al Rayyan, 1-1 with Al Khor and 1-1 with Al Ahli).

The Orange Fortress, under the tutelage of Brazilian Sergio Farias, would be keen on recording their first victory sooner to avoid being in the relegation zone.

Umm Salal have the likes of Yassin Bakhit, Aymen Hussein, Ali Ferydoon, Adel Alawi and Ayman Abdennour, while Al Gharafa boast of Ahmed Alaaeldin, Othman Al Yahri, Sofiane Hanni, Mahdi Tahrat and Homam Al Ameen.
