Al Khor face Qatar SC in Week 9 of the 2024-2025 season Ooredoo Stars League at the Al Khor Stadium on Thursday, October 31, 2024. The kick-off is at 5.30pm.

Both teams enter the match with a strong desire to secure a victory and accumulate points, particularly given the contrasting circumstances reflected on their current standings.

Each side aims to enhance their points tally in an effort to improve their ranking.

Al Khor currently sit at the bottom of the table in 12th place with only four points, having yet to record a win. In contrast, Qatar SC occupy the 11th position with seven points and the three-point gap between the two teams is expected to intensify the competition, adding an element of challenge and excitement to the encounter.

Al Khor, following a draw against Umm Salal in their previous match, are eager to achieve their first victory of the season, even if it comes at the expense of Qatar SC.

Coach Mehdi Nafti is banking on the players’ motivation to secure their first league win to climb the standings, relying on key players such as Adil Rhaili, Aymen Hussein, Yohan Boli, Ruben Semedo, Jasser Yahya, and Sofiane Hanni.

Conversely, Qatar SC are looking to rebound from a disappointing 1-4 loss to Al Arabi and also distance themselves from the relegation zone.

Coach Youssef Safri is focused on preparing his players for the match and restoring their winning momentum, depending on the contributions of players like Sebastian Soria, Ben Malango, Ahmed Abdelkader, Carlinhos and Badr Benoun.
