Al Sailiya vs Qatar SC tips and predictions

Decent match-up expected in QSL Cup

The jury is out on this one but it should be a good game.

Make of it what you will but Al Sailiya might have reasons to be confident about adding to Qatar SC's recent defeats. The losses have slowly been building up for this group of away players over their last 20 fixtures. They've been defeated 13 times in that period. That might not be suitable preparation for this.

The hosts have had some superb spells in their previous performances. Al Sailiya scored three or more goals in 8 of their recent 20 matches.

Qatar SC looked shaky under pressure in some of their recent trips. They've conceded at least once in all of their last 12 away matches. Their harsher critics might be more concerned about their form at the other end of the pitch though. The visitors haven't really been able to fall back on on their play-makers in their latest engagements. They've scored one or less goals in 17 of their last 20 matches.

And of course they have previous. Al Sailiya have won 8 of the last 15 fixtures between the two teams.

It's possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side has the brighter start. Don't be surprised if the two sides cancel each other out over an attritional ninety minutes. It's not a strong view so it isn't one to get stuck into but the No BTTS bet is the only play with a touch of value from that market. In the total goals market, it's over 2.5 goals that stands out here considering the odds on offer.
