A thriller is on the cards when Qatar SC host Al Shahania in Week 16 of the QNB Stars League on Friday, 15th February. The kick-off is at 19:10 at the Qatar SC Stadium.
Qatar SC are 10th in the standings with 15 points (four wins, eight defeats and three draws). The Kings have a goal difference of -9 (14 goals for and 23 against).
Al Shahania are one place above them, in ninth, with 16 points (four wins, seven defeats and four draws). They have a goal difference of -14 (14 goals for and 28 against).
Both teams are sure to fight it out, especially considering their proximity in the standings.
Qatar SC had recorded strong results before the QNB Stars League took a two-month break. They had defeated third-placed Al Sailiya 1-0 in Week 14 and held reigning champions Al Duhail to a 1-1 draw in Week 15.
On the contrary, Al Shahania played out a 1-1 draw with Al Khor in Week 14, but then lost 1-4 to Al Sadd in Week 15.
Qatar SC will miss Syrian striker Osama Omari due to an injury. They had lost to Al Shahania 2-3 in the first leg, so they will be keen to avenge that loss.
Promoted team Al Shahania’s Spanish coach Jose Murcia has at his disposal a group of spirited players who have pulled off some good results.
