Al-Gharafa SC vs Al-Ahli Doha SC Prediction: Expect goals from both teams

In the 13th round of the Qatar Stars League, Al-Ahli Doha will take on Al-Gharafa at the Al-Gharafa stadium. Both teams are in sensational form with only a single point between them in the league. The last time they met in the league, Al-Ahli Doha stole the show with a narrow victory but we envisage a different dynamic this time around. Our prediction is for both teams to find the net. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, key stats, and my expert opinion.

Al-Gharafa SC (4th)

Form in the League: WWWWD

Al-Gharafa is in good form and they continue to show their strength in the league. They have secured four consecutive league victories with an unbeaten record in their last 6 league games. Their most recent league game against Al-Khor was a walkover for Gharafa, ending in a 3-1 victory. Their AFC Champions League elite record is quite poor with a win, a draw, and 4 losses from the 6 games played so far in the competition. 

They are currently 4th placed in the league table with 7 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses from the 12 league games played. Joselu is the team's top scorer with 6 goals scored this season. 

Al-Ahli Doha SC (3rd)

Form in the League: WDWWD

Al-Ahli is closely behind the league leaders Al-Duhail as they are only 3 points behind them and a win here will take them back to the second position in the league if Al-Sadd loses. Al-Ahli Doha annihilated Al-Wakrah in their last league game with the game ending in a 6-3 victory for Al-Ahli Doha. 

Julian Draxler got on the scoresheet in their last league game and he continues to shine for Al-Ahli Doha and he is also the team's current top scorer with 7 goals to his name. They are currently 3rd placed in the league table with 7 wins, 4 draws and a loss from the 12 league games played.
