QSL Saturday preview

Saturdays QSL action will involve only one game, involving old rivals Al Arabi and Al Sadd in the QSL match of the week for round eight. Both sides head into the tie off the back of negative results in round seven and will be eager to secure all three points to push up in the QSL standings. 

Al Arabi’s poor early season form continued as the Dream Team fell to their fourth consecutive defeat of the season, losing 4-2 to Al Gharafa. New head coach Edison Aguirre was unable to inspire his side to victory, with Al Arabi falling into the relegation zone for the first time this season. 

As for the visitors Al Sadd, they dropped points with a 1-1 draw against bottom of the table Al Wakrah in what was a frustrating afternoon for head coach Jesaldo Ferriera. With fellow title rivals Al Rayyan and Lekhwiya dropping points, Al Sadd missed a golden chance to cut down the lead of league leaders El Jaish. The Wolves will now turn their attentions to an Al Arabi side how have not enjoyed the best start to the league. 

The Saturday evening clash at Al Arabi stadium will certainly be one to savour when relegation threated Al Arabi take on title chasing Al Sadd in the QSL match of the week for round eight.
