Former champions Al Sadd will play host to Al Sailiya on Friday with aims of picking up points as they look to close gap on league leaders Al Rayyan.<br />
 <br />
Third-placed Al Sadd - who lost to Lekhwiya last week - have 21 points from 10 matches. Friday's encounter at Al Sadd Stadium will be new coach Jesualdo Ferreira's first game in charge. Ferreira took over a few days ago.<br />
 <br />
The veteran coach has pledged 'total commitment' as Al Sadd try to move closer to top two sides Al Rayyan (30 points) and El Jaish (23).<br />
 <br />
Visitors Al Sailiya, placed 10th on the points table, will be eager to repeat last week's performance when they beat Qatar SC 5-0 at Suheim Bin Hamad Stadium.<br />
 <br />
Al Sailiya will be tested once again playing on foreign soil but the visitors must show consistency on the pitch if they wish to avoid dropping further in the pecking order.<br />
