<p>The QNB Stars League’s Week 4 fixtures on Friday, 31st August, are Al Sailiya vs Al Khor (17:10) and Al Ahli vs Al Gharafa (19:20) at the Khalifa International Stadium.</p><p>Two matches each will be played on Saturday and Sunday as well.</p><p><strong>Al Sailiya vs Al Khor</strong></p><p>Al Sailiya, who stormed into the third position in the QNB Stars League standings with a 2-0 win over Qatar SC for whom star recruit Samuel Eto’o made his debut, will be keen to sustain the momentum.</p><p>Al Sailiya’s Tunisian coach Sami Trabelsi is wary that the break will affect the rhythm of his players. Moroccan striker Rachid Tiberkanine leads The Peregrines’ charge.</p><p>Al Khor, coached by fellow Tunisian Adel Sellimi, are languishing at the 11th position in the table and are the only team, along with bottom-placed Al Kharaitiyat, yet to register a win. So the match-up promises to be exciting.</p><p><strong>Al Ahli vs Al Gharafa</strong></p><p>Al Ahli will be keen to make up for their 1-4 defeat to Umm Salal, while Al Gharafa will gain strength from their creditable 1-1 draw with Al Sadd in the previous round.</p><p>Both teams are targeting a top-four finish, so they cannot afford to drop points. That makes this clash the most notable among all six fixtures in Week 4.</p><p>Al Gharafa’s Muad Hassan and Thamer Gamal attended the team training sessions after recovering from their injuries. Muad Yahia, who was nursing an ankle injury, is also expected to be ready soon.</p><p>Tamim Al Muhaza and Ilyas Ahmed are also recuperating from injuries, the former straining his thigh muscle and the latter recovering from a surgery.</p><p>Similarly, Al Ahli will be bolstered by the return of  Khalil Sharif and Mohammed Reza from suspension and injury respectively.</p>
