Umm Salal

LLWLLL 📉

Umm Salal will be hoping to bounce back here after a 2-4 Stars League defeat last time out to Al-Arabi.

The only player to score from Umm Salal was Antonio Mance (88'). Sarabia (38'), Karl Toko Ekambi (58') and Isaac Lihadji (62') scored for Al-Arabi.

It has not been often in recent times where Umm Salal have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Umm Salal have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 20 goals during that time. Nevertheless, we’ll just have to find out whether such a trend will continue on here in this match.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Checking on their most recent head-to-head meetings going back to 29/04/2023 shows us that Umm Salal have won 2 of them & Al-Duhail 4, with the tally of draws being 0.

ℹ️ Team News: Al-Duhail

Al-Duhail boss Christophe Galtier has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Salah Zakaria (surgery) and Tuta (unknown injury) are those who can’t be considered. Arthur Desmas cannot play in this game through suspension.

✨ Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Umm Salal are dangerous enough to find the net against this Al-Duhail team, but one goal is unlikely to prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

Therefore, we’re predicting a narrow 1-2 winning score for Al-Duhail by the conclusion of the game. It really should be an interesting one.
