They have a goal difference of +3 (25 goals for and 22 against).</p><p>Al Ahli are placed fifth with just one point less and Al Arabi are close behind with 27 points, so Al Rayyan are sure to go all out for a win.</p><p>Al Khor, meanwhile, are on a high after recording two consecutive victories (3-1 against Qatar SC and 1-0 against Umm Salal). The six points from the last two games took their points tally to 15, six more than bottom-placed Al Kharaitiyat.</p><p>The Knights will look to complete a hat-trick of wins as they are not fully safe from the danger zone.</p><p>Al Khor have four victories and three draws to their credit.
