Match Kick-off 20:15pm Saturday March 14, Abdullah Bin Khalifa Stadium.
 
Jaish coach Sabri Lamouchi 
"All games are important in this period. We are close to the end of the season and for Jaish all points are important. This is the third game in one week. In comparison we have had one day more of rest as compared to Al Gharafa. But the difference is that our opponent is coming from a victory and we are coming from a run of bad results."
 
"It’s important for us to finish in the top 4 in the league. So it is vital that we win against Gharafa to stay in the contention for a place in the top 4. We know that Gharafa has had two good results in the last few games."
 
"It will be like a final. It won't decide the final positions on the table. But it's a big chance for both teams to confirm their position in the league. We still have five games and we will treat it like five final matches."
 
"We will try to manage with our players over this busy period. We will be training tonight, I don’t think we will have any absences."
 

 
Gharafa coach Marcos Paqueta 
"It was important for us to win and we celebrated that win but now we have to forget that and focus on our next match. Jaish is a big opponent. It's a direct opponent for us and a great opportunity for us to reach the top 4. This is the end of the season and we will have to play each game with extreme focus. For this match, the pressure will be on our opponents and not on us."
 
"Our team is an almost new team now. We have integrated six new players, and we have had to introduce them gradually into the league. I have to study their skills and see where to position them. I need my players to score and get those wins. We have come back strongly into the league with our recent run of results. That has helped us get close to a top 4 finish and that remains our target."  
 
"Jaish is one of the best teams in Qatar. They have good players. Not just the starting team but also the ones on the bench. Even if they change the coach they will still have the same style of play." 
 
"We have some players in recovery, from the run of games. Luckily we have players ready to replace them. Abderrahman Faiz and Ibrahim Ghanim wil miss the next match because of suspension."
 
 
Player Hamed Shami
"Our game against Jaish will be strong game especially since both teams are aiming for a top 4 finish. But we will play without any pressure and only with the ambition to win. I hope that we will be ready for the match." 
 
"We changed the professional players and these players have added more to our game and that's the main reason behind the improvement that our team is showing right now."
