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

Al-Duhail and Umm Sal are set to clash at the Grand Hamad Stadium on Friday, with both teams eager to grab all three points. Umm Salal have had quite a bad run with two consecutive league defeats in their last two league games and a win in their last five league games. For Al-Duhail, there's no room for error - another draw could jeopardize their championship dreams. I'm expecting 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.

Umm Salal SC (10th)

Form in the League: LLWLL

Umm Salal have only won two games in their last 7 league games with two consecutive league losses in their last two league games. Umm Salal lost woefully to Al-Shamal in their last league game with the game ending in a 4-0 defeat and with a deeper look at their opponents for Friday, they might be edging towards yet another defeat. They are currently 10th placed in the league with 4 wins, 2 draws, and 7 losses from 13 games played. 

Al-Duhail SC (1st)

Form in the League: DWLWW

Duhail was held down to a goalless draw against Al-Rayyan in their last league game and they’ll be eager to bounce back to winning ways as they prepare to take on a poor Umm Salal side on Friday. They are in pursuit of Championship glory this season and they cannot afford a slip-up, not at this critical point. 

Duhail is an attacking-minded team and they also have the most goals in the league this season with 37 goals scored and just 11 conceded. Michale Olunga is the man in front of the goal for Duhail with a total of 8 goals already to his name this season. 

Duhail has now scored an impressive amount of 11 goals just in their last four league games. Michael Olunga is the team's top scorer with 8 goals and they are still top of the league with 9 wins, and 2 draws. and 2 losses from 13 games played. They’ll get the win here.

Expert Betting Tips

Duhail is on fire, scoring 37 goals in their last 13 league games, including 11 goals in their last four matches. On the other hand, Umm Salal SC is struggling, with only one win in their last seven league games.

To be honest, I think Duhail is the clear favorite to win this match. They're the league leaders for a reason! Another bet I like is the corner option. In 4 of their last 5 meetings, there have been more than 10.5 corners. With Duhail's attacking style, I think they'll get plenty of corners in this.
