Round 17 of the QSL season will kick-off with two games involving sides at the foot of the table. All Four teams will be targeting big wins to assure safety from relegation to the Qatar Gas League. 

The first game of the day, will be tenth against ninth when Al Kharaitiyat take on Al Khor in the 16:25 KO. Al Kharaitiyat’s good form came to a stuttering halt in round 16 with a 2-1 defeat to Al Arabi. Prior to this Ahmad Al-Ajlani’s side had registered three wins in their last four QSL encounters, which suggested that they had turned a corner. They will be taking on an Al Khor side that has also seen an upturn in fortunes in their last five games. Last time out Khor secured a vital point against El Jaish in a 0-0 draw. With just one point separating the sides in the league, both coaches will be aiming for a win for further daylight between them and the drop zone. 

The second day of the day will see struggling Al Sailiya take on Umm Salal in the 18:35 KO at Al Ahli stadium.  Sailiya are currently in eleventh place in the QSL standings and could be taking on Umm Salal at a good time, especially with Orange Fortress attackers Yannick Sagbo and Mahmoud Al-Mawas are absent through suspension.
