Al Sadd take on Al Gharafa in their Qatar Stars League (QSL) fixture today, and all eyes will be on two flying wingers,  Jugurtha Hamroun and Vladimir Weiss.
Al Sadd’s summer signing Hamroun and Al Gharafa’s Slovakian international Weiss have enjoyed good seasons with their respective sides. Weiss just edges out Hamroun in terms of overall contribution in terms of goals grabbing 10 compared the five goals by the Algerian Hamroun. Whilst the former Steaua Bucure?ti player has the better of Weiss in the assists category, having a helping hand in 7 of his sides goals compared to just 3 assists from the Slovakian.
Al Ghrafa have been deadly on the break so far this season, and it’s no wonder that Weiss registers highly with shooting accuracy with 66% of his shots finding the target. The Slovakian also has significantly more penalty area entries in comparison to Hamroun, averaging 6.4 visits in a game.
It seems finely poised when the two wingers take on each other Al Sadd stadium today.
