Doha, Qatar: Table-toppers Al Gharafa will look to continue their fine run in the Qatar Stars League (QSL) when they face Al Shahania tomorrow, as the top flight resumes following a break of over a month.
Pedro Martins’ side secured a four-point lead at the top of the table before the league pause, which came due to Qatar hosting the FIFA Arab Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup.
The reigning Amir Cup champions enter the match brimming with confidence after a crucial AFC Champions League victory over UAE’s Al Wahda just three days ago.
While Al Gharafa will start as favourites at Al Khor Stadium, Al Shahania will be hoping for a turnaround in the league, currently anchored at the bottom with just four points.
Meanwhile, Al Shamal, second on the points table with 21 points, face a formidable challenge in their bid to cut into Al Gharafa’s lead midway through the season. They will host defending champions Al Sadd on Monday at Al Shamal Sports Club.
