Al Sailiyah will be aware of the magnitude of threat they will face when they take on Al Sadd in their Qatar Stars League (QSL) game at the Al Sadd Stadium tomorrow.
Al Sailiyah are getting back their mojo after a difficult season. The Peregrines have two wins in a row and will be looking for a third against an inform Al Sadd side.
Sami Trablesi, head coach of Al Sailiyah, says he will use whatever tools he has at his disposal, “We don’t have many players like the other clubs. So we give opportunities to the players we have. We are playing against the best teams in Qatar reinforced with one of the best players in the world, Xavi. We will see how it goes on the pitch as its kind of a challenge.”
“We will do our best against them. We play a team with 13 goals in two games. We scored 13 goals in 11 games. But football is a different game if we change some things anything is possible. If we start with an objective and stick to it we can achieve big things. A lot of teams lost to Al Sadd with a big score. We have nothing to lose and the pressure is on them,” added the Tunisian tactician.
Al Sadd can’t stop scoring and are in top form having scored thirteen goals in their last two matches. After an 8-0 hammering of Umm Salal, the Wolves will be looking to continue their devastating attack against Al Sailiyah.
Jesualdo Ferreira, the head coach of Al Sadd, spoke about the last two games and the unexpected results, “I expected to win in the last two games but I didn’t expect those results. Big results like this don’t always happen. It’s not ideal to judge Sadd, Umm Salal and Rayyan by these results. I can say we are just better than these teams because we beat them. We have prepared our team to play offensive and only by scoring you can win.”
Later, Al Ahli will meet Lekhwiya at the Al Ahli Stadium. Al Ahli managed four points in their last five games and are without a win in the last seven. The Brigadiers will be gunning for the win against the former QSL champions Lekhwiya.
Lekhwiya are third in the table with 27 points from eleven games.
Elsewhere, Al Shahaniya will play against Al Khor tomorrow. Al Shahaniya are having a mixed run of form and are currently 10th in the table with 11 points. The Oryxes will be looking for the win against a struggling Al Khor at the Al Arabi Stadium.
Jose Fernando, the head coach of Al Shahania said: “I expect a big game because Al Khor is a good team with young players and good quality. Both teams are more or less on the same level and I look forward to a big game.”
