Al Sadd take on El Jaish in a decider for second place in the QSL. The match will be played at the Qatar SC stadium on Friday.
 
Al Sadd are third in the table and only a point behind their second placed opponents. A win for the Wolves will see them leap into second and end the season as runner ups.
 
Jesualdo Ferrieira, the head coach of Al Sadd is aiming for the win on Friday, “The match is for the second position in the league. Our target is for the second position and El Jaish are also aiming for that. But we will seek the win no matter what.”
 
Jesualdo Ferreira’s men may face El Jaish in the upcoming Qatar Cup but the coach insists they will be different games altogether, “The game will be preparation for the Qatar cup. Each game is a different situation this in the league and that’s in the cup.” He also added that, “I think El Jaish will play with their best players because they will want to win both games.”
 
“We had some big mistakes in the last match and we will work on our defense in the next game,” added the Portuguese tactician.
 
Pedro Miguel and Morteza Pouraliganji are doubtful for the next game, “Pedro got injured in the last game and Morteza Pouraliganji as well. Both players are very important for me and when they came to al sad they improved the defensive line a lot,” added the sixty-nine-year-old.
 

 
El Jaish are currently in second place but only one-point clear of their third placed rivals. They will want to win the match in order to secure second position at the end of the season.
 
Sabri Lamouchi, the head coach of the Soldiers is keen on getting the three points in the last game of the season, “This game is the last game of the league. If we don’t lose we will be in second place. Al Sadd we know is the biggest club in Qatar, big history and big support. We will go into this match hoping to win.”
 
“For us the season is not finished. Our target was to qualify for AFC Champions League and get second place.  We have two more cups after this, so for us our season starts now,” said the Frenchman at the press conference on Wednesday.
 
Apart from the team’s targets El Jaish also have a top contender for the golden boot in Abdelrazzak Hamdallah, “The club wants to help Hamdallah get the golden boot. When he plays around the box he is a killer and has 20 goals this season. And if he gets the golden boot it will be good for him and good for the team as he will have more confidence to score,” added Lamouchi.
