Today's marquee match sees Qatar Premier League's Al Shahaniya hosting a solid Doha-based Al Arabi. Will Paris Saint-Germain's legacy, led by former PSG stars Marko Waratahi and Nafeel, be able to shine in the match? In the last four rounds of the league, they have scored at least two goals in three consecutive games, with an average of 1.5 goals per game.
Doha Al Arabi's recent situation is also encouraging, the team has actively brought in strong reinforcements in recent years, and in September last year, the team purchased Mago Waratahi from PSG for a sky-high price of 45 million euros. The 31-year-old Italian international contributed seven assists in the league last season, greatly improving the team's offensive organization. Another midfielder, Napier, joined the team two years ago, and his rich experience in Europe's top leagues and his status as the 2016 Olympic gold medalist in men's soccer have undoubtedly added unlimited possibilities to the team's offensive end.
Eshahaniyah has had a strong start to the season in the CCL, with the morale of their local players taking on their strongest rivals, especially at home in the attacking end of the field. The team is also full of high-quality foreigners, such as Antonios, a former Feijano-Belgian midfielder, who is expected to take the starting position in the first match.
