An intriguing clash is on the cards in the Qatar Premier League as Al Duhani take on Umm Salal at home. Al Duhani beat Qatar SC by a massive 6-1 margin in the opening round of the league, while Umm Al Sharar went down 1-3 to Al Aireen in the first round of the tournament. Notably, both matches saw multiple rounds of intense fighting. It is worth noting that Aiduhani's team has scored four or more goals in six of their last seven league home matches, but they have failed to make a breakthrough in the big [3.5 goals] matches.
Al Sadd is the traditional powerhouse of the Qatar Premier League, having won the title a total of 17 times. Al Duhaney, Al Reen and Al Gharafa follow them as the Big 4. However, in recent years, Al Duhaney have become the only team capable of challenging the Al Sadd dynasty. In the last five editions of the CCL, Essad has won the title three times, while Aiduhani has won it twice. It seems that Aiduhani's excellent performance in the first round has made them challenge Aisad once again.
In the first round of matches, Aiduhani striker Olonga scored three consecutive goals, the 30-year-old Kenyan shot-stopper played for Kashiwa Reysol and was honored as the Nippon Professional League's top scorer in 2021 with 28 goals. He scored 111 goals in 110 appearances in the fourth quarter of the campaign for Aiduhani. It was a great show for him.
Umm Salal is a mid-table force in the Qatar Premier League. Despite suffering a heavy defeat in the first round of the competition, their performance is still worth watching. Expect this match to be a goal battle that neither side will give up easily and the market will continue to heat up.
