Al Wakra vs Al Sadd Prediction: can Sadd keep their league's hope alive?

Al Wakra will host Al Sadd at home in the round 7 of the Qatar Stars League at the Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah on Wednesday, 14th September.

Al Wakra - hopeful to remain at the top

Al Wakra will be coming into this match after a 2-2 draw away from home against Al Ahli Doha. The host has now gone two matches without a win, with both ending in a tie. In their total last five matches, they now have two wins and three draws. They have racked total of 12 points in 6 first opening matches of the season, therefore sitting third on the table a point behind second placed Al-Duhail. When the host play Al Sadd, they will hope to keep their unbeaten record intact. Also, considering the poor form of Al Sadd, it’s considered a great opportunity for the host to get a win.

Al Sadd - hoping to get an important away win

Al Sadd has been inconsistent with their performance this season. Despite winning the league last season without a single loss, in six first opening matches this season, Al Sadd has lost three matches already while ending a match in a draw and two draws. The visitors will now hope to reinstate their position in the league and get an important win in this match in order to get back to top of the table for them to defend their title. In their last loss against Shamal, Al Sadd got the first goal from Andrew Ayew 7 minutes later before Amjad Attwan cancelled the Ghanaian opening from the spot. However, the visitors saw two goals ruled as offside by the VAR which ensured that Olwan’s 34th minute goal won Shamal the match.
