19:00 kick-off at Al Sadd Stadium

Al Sailiya and Qatar SC are desperate for points and it is against this backdrop that they face off in Week 4 of the QNB Stars League at the Al Sadd Stadium on Friday.

Al Sailiya, who finished a creditable third in the 2018-19 QNB Stars League, could not make a strong start this time around and have collected only a point, from their drawn encounter (1-1) with Al Khor in the opening round.

The Peregrines lost the next game 0-3 to Al Ahli.

However, Al Sailiya, under Tunisian Sami Trabelsi for long, have played one game less as their match against Al Sadd in Week 3 was postponed to 24th September due to the latter’s AFC Champions League second-leg quarterfinal against Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr, which was played in Doha on 16th September.

Qatar SC, coached by Spaniard Carlos Alos Ferrer, have yet to open their account, having lost 1-2 to Al Duhail, 0-2 to Al Wakrah and 1-3 to Al Gharafa.

The Kings had raised visions of victory against Al Duhail, but conceded two late goals to throw away the lead.

So both sides, who have players of calibre, will look for their first victory, which will help them get their campaign on track.
