<div>Former Qatar Stars League (QSL) champions Al Sadd will go into their round 19 clash on Friday against hosts Al Khor with a desperate desire to snap a four-match winless streak.<br />
 <br />
Coached by experienced Jesualdo Ferreira, Al Sadd beat Mesaimeer on December 20, 2015. Since then the Doha giants have played four matches and are yet to force a QSL win in almost two months.<br />
 <br />
In a rather surprising run of flow in QSL, Al Sadd lost points against struggling Qatar SC last week, losing 1-0 at Suhaim Bin Hamad Stadium.<br />
 <br />
A little over two weeks ago, Al Sadd were thrashed by Al Wakrah who won the game 3-1.<br />
 <br />
Al Sadd's experienced captain Xavi and reliable striker Hassan Al Haydos will have to dig deep to stop the rot and help the team go for a top-4 finish when QSL ends in April.<br />
 <br />
Hosts Al Khor, who enjoyed a three-match winning streak before their loss to Al Rayyan last week, need points to move away from their 9th-place spot.<br />
 <br />
Jean Fernandez's side needs to show resilience against visitors Al Sadd already smarting from poor results in the last four rounds. Al Khor are a point behind Al Wakrah who have 23 points.<br />
 <br />
The key clash kicks-off at 16:45.<br />
 <br />
In other games on Friday, Sebastiao Lazaroni's Qatar SC welcome Al Ahli at Suhaim Bin Hamad Stadium, knowing they beat Al Sadd last week at the same venue.<br />
 <br />
Lazaroni;s men have encountered numerous ups and downs this season. A scrappy start to the season has pushed them down the ladder. Qatar SC have 14 points and are still just a notch above bottom-placed Mesaimeer in the 14-team league.<br />
 <br />
Al Ahli, placed 11th, need a bit of work to snap a three-match winless run. Last week, Al Ahli were held to a 1-1 draw by Al Kharaitiyat.<br />
 <br />
In the second match of the night at Shaim Bin Hamad Stadium on Friday, Umm Salal will take on Al Sailiyah.<br />
 <br />
Al Sailiyah will be keen to exhibit form that helped them stun Lekhwiya in round 17 but Sami Trabelsi's side surprisngly went down<br />
3-2 to Al Wakrah last week.<br />
 <br />
Placed 7th on the points table, Al Sailiyah will be looking at a win to leapfrog Umm Salal who are in 6th spot. Umm Salal, however, come into the game on the back of a 2-0 win over Mesaimeer last week.<br />
 <br />
The game starts at 19:15..<br />
