Umm Salal face Al Sailiya in Round 5, Group A of the 2022-2023 season Ooredoo Cup on Friday, October 14. The kick-off is at 19:00 at the Al Ersal 2 Stadium.

Al Sadd, Al Wakrah, Al Ahli and Qatar SC are the other teams in Group A.

Group B consists of Al Duhail, Al Markhiya, Al Arabi, Al Shamal, Al Gharafa and Al Rayyan.

Unbeaten and at the top of the Group A standings, Umm Salal with 12 points from four matches have already qualified for the knockout semifinals of the tournament. They will aim to finish off their league stage with another win while their national coach Wesam Rizik will also try to rotate his players.

Al Sailiya, meanwhile, will hope to notch up their only win in their final league clash.

Al Sailiya coach Sami Trabelsi has been trying hard to correct the situation of his team and will surely want his players to emerge strong and log some points on the table before bowing out of the tournament.

Although the teams are in complete contrast in the standings table, the match will not be easy for either side. The experience will certainly be of help for the players for the season ahead.
