Kick off 18:30 at Al Sadd stadium. Sunday November 22. 

Qatar SC Head Coach Sebastião Lazaroni
“This match against Al Rayyan will be very difficult for us considering the strength of the opponent. They are currently at the top of the standings and have won eight games in a row. It will be tough for us but we are up for the fight and are keen to get maximum points from this match.”

“My players will have to capitalize on any opportunity that comes their way and remain focused at all times during the match. We have to be at the very top of our abilities if we want to achieve the desired result. We will have to ensure that we do not make any individual mistakes and work as a team.”

“I believe that my players are ready for this match and they are willing to give it their all to get a win against such a powerful opponent. There is a strong desire from everyone in the team to achieve a positive result from this match.”

“We believe that if we give it our best then we are capable of defeating Rayyan. This is football. Nothing is impossible. This will be a good match and the players are looking forward to competing in such an intense atmosphere.” 



Al Rayyan Head Coach Jorge Fossati
“We have used this international break to work on two aspects. We first focused on the physical fitness of the players and in the second phase we worked on the tactical and technical aspect of the game.”

“This match will be a tough one for us. Qatar SC is going through a tough patch this season but they are the team that finished fourth last time around.”

“I respect the Qatar SC team despite the difficult conditions they are experiencing currently. But they are still a great team. They have missed the services of striker Hamdi Harboui but now they have found a good replacement in Dagano. I also think that bringing in former Head Coach Lazaroni has been a good decision. He is capable of getting the team back on track.”

“At Rayyan we are looking to win all matches and continue to lead the table. I am confident in the ability of my players to maintain the good work they are doing and continue getting the good results that we have been able to achieve so far.”

“We will be looking to win the match, which will give us the three points and also our ninth win in a row.”
