Al-Shamal and Al-Duhail SC meet on Thursday, Oct 8 at 4:45 PM with both clubs firmly in the mix for the European places in the Stars League. Just 2 points separate them in the standings.
Al-Shamal come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 0L). Al-Duhail SC travel drawing too many games (3D in last 4), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, Al-Shamal face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Al-Duhail SC have won 9 of 10 encounters. Their last encounter ended in Al-Duhail SC won 3–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.4 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Al-Shamal a slight edge, but Al-Duhail SC are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
