LLWLLL 📉

Umm Salal will be hoping for a better result after a 2-4 Stars League defeat in their last game at the hands of Al-Arabi.

The only scorer from Umm Salal was Antonio Mance (88'). Sarabia (38'), Karl Toko Ekambi (58') and Isaac Lihadji (62') scored for Al-Arabi.

It has not been often in recent times where Umm Salal have shown defensive steel.

Nevertheless, we’ll just have to find out whether such a trend will continue on here in this match.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Inspecting their past head-to-head clashes stretching back to 29/04/2023 shows us that Umm Salal have won 2 of these and Al-Duhail 4, with the tally of draws being 0.

A combined sum of 16 goals were produced between them during those clashes, with 7 of them for Barzan Falcons and 9 being from The Red Knights. That’s an average goals per game figure of 2.67.

📰 Team News: Al-Duhail

Al-Duhail manager Christophe Galtier has not got a full squad to pick from. Salah Zakaria (surgery) and Tuta (unknown injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet. Arthur Desmas is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

⚡ Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Umm Salal are dangerous enough to find the net against this Al-Duhail team, but one goal is unlikely to prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

Therefore, we’re predicting a narrow 1-2 winning score for Al-Duhail by the conclusion of the game. It really should be an interesting one.
