Al Gharafa will meet Qatar SC in a challenging Week 16 match of the 2024-2025 Ooredoo Stars League at the Thani Bin Jassim Stadium of Al Gharafa club on Saturday, February 22, 2025. The kick-off is at 4.45pm.

Both teams would go into the clash, eager to score a win. Al Gharafa are currently occupying the third place in the rankings with 31 points, tied with second-placed Al Sadd on goal difference, and would seek the valuable three points to boost their tally further and to go past Al Sadd.

That Al Sadd would also be playing leaders Al Duhail in the same round adds to the battle for the top.

Qatar SC, meanwhile, have also found their rhythm and scored three successive wins. They have a tally of 19 points and are in seventh place and would look to further their own chances.

Al Gharafa coach Pedro Martins is aware of the strength of Qatar SC and their desire to win, so he would look for his players to focus on challenging the rivals hard, especially after The Cheetahs’ exit from the AFC Champions League Elite after losing in the eighth round to Al Ahli of Saudi Arabia 2-4.

For his part, Qatar SC coach Youssef Safri, has been preparing his side for this tough contest.

He would want his players to take advantage of the high morale after the recent series of victories and continue the streak.
