The third match in Qatar and both Umm Salal and Al Shamal had an opportunity for mini-preparation and re-training because they did not have many internationals and did not have many absentees in their training.

This game seems to have a clear favorite because both in terms of material and performance, Umm Salal seems to be superior to Al Shamal.

Al Shamal is gracious and very passionate, but that is not enough. Dagano has grown old and has no difficulty in scoring, and the coach said he had a special conversation and preparation for the African Star.

Although they say very optimistic and determined to win at Al Shamal, the truth is that they did not show much against a team much worse than Umm Salal and it will be hard to avoid defeat in this game. I see value in the double

Premier in Qatar between teams that will fight hard and end to avoid relegation. Newcomer Al Shamal after years managed to return to the big class and wants to stay there while the old Al Kharitiyath managed to avoid relegation last year and stay with the grown-ups.

Al Shamal does not seem to be one of the teams that will be able to avoid relegation. Although he was greatly boosted by the acquisition of Dagano, he does not have enough players to have quality nor can he make the difference.

Formal guests had significant losses in the summer, after the permanent scorers Yahia Kebe and Jaycee John left, but they went to barbarian transfers to replace them with the Jordanian player Hassan Abdel Fatah and the Congolese Diba Ilunga, adding to their engine and the tireless Ivarian Issar Dia, who looked at Lekhwiya but had a serious injury and stayed behind.

I see Al Kharitiyath being of sufficient quality and able to cope with such a crucial game so early. If they are careful in their defensive operation and do not give opportunities to Dagano, they will be able to score and win.
