Kick off 16:00 at Al Sadd stadium. Sunday November 22. 
 
Al Kharaitiyat Head Coach Amar Osim
“The break was a positive thing for our team. We used it to rectify the mistakes that we have made during the previous round and also to work on the tactical aspect of our game. We have wanted to do this and this international break has helped us achieve that.”

“The coming set of matches will be very tough and will require the players to put in a lot of effort. The match against Sadd will not be an easy one. Sadd have players with good individual quality who are capable of scoring at any time. We will work on shoring up our defence to nullify the attacking prowess of Sadd’s players. But at the same time we will not play with a defensive approach and we will be looking to attack the Sadd goal also.”

“Our first target in this match will be to reduce the scoring opportunities of Sadd and then look to score a goal. Our players are focussed and are keen to get the maximum points from this match.”
 


Al Sadd Assistant Coach Hisham Zahid
“This is an important match for us. It will be a tough match too because Kharaitiyat are a good team regardless of the results they have achieved so far. We will not be misled by Kharaitiyat's lack of results because we know the threat that they pose. We will play to our strengths and look to achieve a positive result.”

“At Sadd we are always looking to play for titles and in order to achieve that we need to win all the matches we can. So we will play with full concentration and give it our all to achieve the desired result and win the three points.” 

“Khalfan Ibrahim is a star footballer in Qatar. He is one of the sons of Al Sadd but whether he stays or goes is a decision that rests with the team management. But I sincerely wish that Khalfan continues to stay with the team because he is one of the most talented players we have.”

“Our players are feeling the stress of taking part in the international matches recently but in the short time that we have had, we are preparing them physically and mentally to get ready. And we hope that we can show our readiness against Kharaitiyat and get the victory.”
