Umm Salal

LLWLLL 📉

Umm Salal will be looking to improve on their last outing here following the 2-4 Stars League loss in their previous game against Al-Arabi.

The only name on the scoresheet 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. The reality is that Umm Salal have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 20 goals during that time. Nevertheless, we’ll just have to find out whether such a trend will continue on here in this match.

↔️ Head to head

Inspecting their most recent head-to-head meetings stretching back to 29/04/2023 shows us that Umm Salal have won 2 of them and Al-Duhail 4, with the number of drawn games standing at 0.

A combined sum of 16 goals were shared by the two clubs during those clashes, with 7 of them for Barzan Falcons and 9 being from The Red Knights. That is an average goals per game value of 2.67.

ℹ️ Team News: Al-Duhail

Al-Duhail manager Christophe Galtier has multiple availability issues to deal with. Salah Zakaria (surgery) and Tuta (unknown injury) won’t be making appearances. Arthur Desmas cannot play in this game through 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.
