<strong>Al Arabi Head Coach Gianfranco Zola</strong><br />
“It will be a very different game than the one we played against Wakrah. Khor play in a similar way like us, so there will be a lot of one-on-one situations. So it will come down to the quality of the players. The players will have to be in very good physical and mental condition. We are coming from a win where we had to deal with tough situations. We had a man sent off and we played with 10 men for 20 minutes but we did well and that gave us a lot of confidence. But we are playing a team that has a lot of desire to come back from a defeat. But I believe that Arabi will be ready.”<br />

<strong>Al Khor Head Coach Jean Fernandez</strong><br />
“Of course we are expecting a reaction from our team. It's important to react well after a defeat. We are playing a good opponent in Arabi so we will have to play well.”<br />
<br />
“We are trying after our defeat in the first game to increase the confidence in our players. They have reacted in a positive way during training; our team is ready to play this game.”<br />
“Of course we will try to resolve some problems after a defeat. But that doesn't mean that after every game we keep altering the team. Also, I am trying to learn more about the league too as we go along.”<br />
<br />
“We want to stop this string of negative results. Our defeat against Salal and last season's performance is a worrying factor for me. But we want to reverse the trend and get back to winning ways and get a better start to the league this time around.”<br />
<br />
“All players are fit and ready for this game.”
