Al-Gharafa SC vs Al-Duhail SC Prediction: Duhail remains strong at the top of the league

Al-Duhail and Al-Gharafa are set to clash at the Al-Gharafa Stadium on Saturday, with both teams eager to grab all three points. Gharafa is not to be toiled with as they have lost only a game in their last five league games and it’s always a tough one whenever they face Duhail. Duhail on the other hand has also secured two consecutive league victories in their last two league games and they’ll be aiming for a positive outcome on Saturday. I expect an exciting match with plenty of goals and a possible victory for Duhail. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, key stats, and my expert opinion.

Al-Gharafa SC (3rd)

Form in the League: WLWWD

Al-Gharafa is in sensational form and they continue to show their strength in the league. They have only lost a game in their last 4 league games. Their last league game against Umm Salal SC ended in a narrow 0-1 defeat and they’ll be hoping for a positive outcome when they take on Duhail on Saturday. They are now just 4 points behind league leaders Al-Duhail and they cannot afford a slip-up at this crucial time. 

They are currently 3rd placed in the league table with 11 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses from the 18 league games played. Joselu is the team's top scorer with 8 goals scored this season. 

Al-Duhail SC (1st)

Form in the League: WWLWW

Duhail continues to uphold its position at the top of the league table and there’s only a point margin between them and their arch-rivals Al-Sadd. Al-Duhail emerged victorious with a 4-2 victory over Al-Ahli Doha in their last league game and it is now two games in a row for Duhail. They are still in pursuit of Championship glory this season and they cannot afford another slip-up, not at this critical point. 

Duhail is an attacking-minded team and they are also the second team with the most goals in the league this season with 47 goals scored and just 16 conceded. Michael Olunga is the man in front of the goal for Duhail with a total of 11 goals already to his name this season. Michael Olunga is the team's top scorer with 11 goals and they are still top of the league with 13 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses from 18 games played. 

Head-To-Head Statistics

A critical look at their last 10 meetings produced 5 victories for Duhail, 3 wins for Al-Gharafa, and 2 draws. 

Expert Betting Tips

Duhail is on fire, scoring 47 goals in their last 18 league games, Al-Gharafa, on the other hand, is also in good shape and we can envisage a tough encounter with goals from both teams here. However, Duhail is in great shape and they have the power and right form to quench Gharafa’s fire and we believe this would be the case on Saturday when they meet. A win or draw and a total of over 2.5 goals for Duhail is our first bet. 

To be honest, Duhail is stronger in terms of form and I believe they’ll not lose here. They're the league leaders for a reason! Another bet I like is the corner option. With the high attacking style of both teams, there should be an increased amount of corners in this game. Gharafa will not go down without a fight and we can as well tip them for a goal on Saturday.
