Qatar SC face Umm Salal in the concluding match of 2024-2025 season Ooredoo Stars League Week 17 at the Suhaim Bin Hamad Stadium of Qatar SC on Friday, February 28, 2025. The kick-off is at 7pm.
Both teams approach the match following disappointing performances in their previous outings. Qatar SC suffered a 2-4 defeat against Al Gharafa, while Umm Salal fell 2-3 to Al Shahania.
Consequently, securing a victory and thus earning three points has become a crucial objective for both sides.
Umm Salal, currently positioned 11th with 14 points, aim to secure a win that would help them break free from their recent string of unfavourable results and improve their standing in the league.
On the other hand, Qatar SC, sitting ninth with 19 points, are eager to return to winning ways, separated from Al Arabi in eighth place only by goal difference. The team anticipates a significant boost with the return of Ahmed Abdel Kader, who has recovered from injury after missing the last two matches, along with Sebastian Soria, who will provide additional strength to the squad.
The first-leg encounter in Week 6 had ended in a 2-2 stalemate.
