Kickoff: Fri, 2oth, 20:15 at the Suhaim bin Hamad Stadium
 
Qatar SC head coach Radhi Shenaishil
“Now we are even closer to the end of the league and so it's important for us to keep taking as many points as we can. It's a crucial period where we can either go on to take second place or lose third place in the process. So we have to maintain our focus. Kharaitiyat are one of the best teams in this second part of the league. Their new coach knows how to prepare the team in the best possible way for each game. So it will be a tough game for us. I think that, for us, this period is more important than the first half of the league. We have been able to take some good results and that has given our team confidence. I have talked to my players and told them that this game is very crucial when it comes to our position in the table. A win in this match will guarantee us a place in the top 4. So it's a big match for us and I believe that my players are ready for this game. “
 
“Maher Yousuf, Zakiba and Rafik Halliche will miss the game due to injuries.”
 
“When a team is experiencing good results, it's always an easy period for the coach. But I still want more from my players. Now other teams are thinking of us in the same league as Al Sadd or Lekhwiya. So that is good for the team but that also means that we have to be prepared for a tough match every time. We will have to play with more concentration. If we end up thinking that we are the better team, then we will end up making mistakes. So it is important that we play collectively, as a single unit.”
 

 
Al Kharaitiyat head coach Amar Osim
“Qatar SC is in very good form. They are playing with a lot of confidence as you can see from their results. They are the best team in the second part of the league. We also haven't done too bad ourselves. It will be a tough match for us but it will also not be easy for Qatar SC either.”
 
“The initial target for us was to stay in the league. We have almost achieved that. I have to stress on almost because we still have matches left. The second target is to improve further and we will see at the end of the season where we end up. For me it's important that the team improves and if that happens then then I will be happy.”
 
“We will treat their players with respect. They deserve it definitely. However we think we have good qualities as well, so we will try to somehow show our qualities and block theirs - just like any coach would like to do.”
 
“Issiar Dia will miss the game because of injury.”
 
“We hope we can stop Hamdi Harbaoui. He's a player we respect a lot. He's not only a goal scorer but he also creates chances for others. But Qatar SC are not a good team because Harbaoui is scoring. They play well as a team and as a consequence, he gets more chances and being a big player he converts those chances.”
