Al Arabi and Al Sailiyah players vie for the ball possession during their opening match of the 2017 QNB Stars League season at Al Arabi Stadium on Saturday.
After a disappointing result in the opening match of the QNB Stars League season, Al Arabi are looking to turn things around against hosts Al Duhail this weekend.
Djamel Belmadi’s side enjoyed a flying start last week with a last minute 3-2 win against Qatar Sports Club will be looking to build on their successful start to life in the QNB Stars League.
The Red Knights task could be a challenging one as Al Arabi will be looking to bounce back from their 3-1 defeat to Al Sailiyah to kick start their 2017/2018 campaign. The Dream Team will be looking for some inspiration from their new signing Khalfan Ibrahim who grabbed a impressive debut goal in the defeat.
However, Al Duhail will be hoping that Moroccan international striker Yousef El Arabi will be able to add to his brace that he scored against Qatar SC last weekend. Last season’s top goal scorer enjoys playing against Al Arabi, and grabbed a hat-trick when the sides met for the first time during the 2016/2017 season.
The match certainly promises to be one of interest at Al Duhail Stadium and the kick off is set for 8.00pm.
