Al Khor host Al Ahli in Week 14 of the 2024-2025 season Ooredoo Stars League at the Al Khor Stadium on Wednesday, January 29, 2025. The kick-off is at 6.45pm.

Both teams are eager to secure a victory and earn three crucial points in this significant match-up.

Al Ahli aim for higher standings and a position at the top, while Al Khor strive to avoid relegation.

This match serves as a chance for both teams to recover from their recent defeats, with Al Ahli losing 0-2 to Al Gharafa and Al Khor falling 1-2 to Al Shahania.

Al Ahli have slipped to fourth place in the table with 25 points, tied on goal difference with Al Sadd following their second defeat of the season (against Al Gharafa).

The match holds substantial importance for the team under the guidance of Croatian coach Igor Biscan as they seek to sustain their competitive aspirations after a series of strong performances throughout the season.

Conversely, Al Khor’s Tunisian coach Mehdi Nafti understands that another loss would severely hinder the team’s efforts as they currently sit at the bottom of the table with only seven points following their eighth defeat this season (against Al Shahania).

Al Khor will be without the services of Abdalaziz Hazaa and Ruben Semedo, who are suspended after being sent off in the match against Al Shahania. The team struggled with the numerical disadvantage and could not hold on to their lead in the first half.

Both teams boast a talented roster, with Oumar Sekou and Julian Draxler being key offensive players for Al Ahli, while Al Khor rely mainly on the skills of Sofiane Hanni and Aymen Hussein.
