Al Duhail
Al Arabi
Contents
- Competition: QSL Cup
- Date: Thursday, 28th December 2023
- Kickoff: 16:30 UTC / 17:30 CET
- Venue: Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium (Doha)
Last season, Al Duhail lifted their 8th national league title in history. They had the same ambitions this year too, but after twelve rounds, Al Duhail are only a mid-table team with 17 points. It seems unrealistic for Christophe Galtier's team to repeat last season's success, especially after the last four matches when Al Duhail recorded one draw and three losses. In the previous game, Al Duhail lost 5-3 at home against Al Ahli Doha. Guests had only 29% ball possession and eight shots fewer than the opponent, but they still secured a big win.
Al Arabi were also brilliant last season when they finished with only two points fewer than Al Duhail. This season, same as their next opponent, they are only a mid-table team with 17 points so far. Al Arabi improved drastically this season as they have not lost in the last six matches. In the previous game, they played 0-0 on the road against Shamal. Guests were a big favorite to win, but they weren't on an adequate level, so the teams split the points.
Al Duhail vs Al Arabi pick: Over 3.5 goals
Al Duhail and Al Arabi played the games with four or more goals in the previous three h2h matches. The last game that was played in September was 3-3. Over 3.5 goals should be the best betting solution for the upcoming tie.

Al Duhail team news
Al Duhail is not satisfied with the current season. They had a slow start, so in October, the board sacked the head coach, Hernan Crespo.
At his place came Christophe Galtier. Under the Frenchman, Al Duhail won only six in 14 matches in all competitions. If the negative run continues, Galtier could be sacked, too.

Al Arabi team news
Al Arabi, with Al Duhail and Al Rayyan, should be among the best teams in Qatar. They are unlikely to fulfill their season goals.
Still, Al Arabi had confidence in Younes Ali, their coach since 2021, so the club started playing much better lately. It is unlikely the board will sack Ali if they continue to play like that.
