Struggling at the bottom of the league table, Al-Markhiya is enduring a tough start to the season, having suffered four consecutive defeats in their first four league games. Their most recent league match ended in a 0-3 loss to Al-Wakrah SC. As they prepare to take on Al-Wakrah on Thursday, their chances of a positive result seem bleak. They have yet to secure a win this season, with four losses in four games played.

Duhail suffered their first defeat of the season in their most recent league game against Al-Gharafa. Gharafa secured the victory with a last-minute goal from Brahimi, leaving Al-Duhail with little time to mount a comeback. The final score was 3-2 in favor of Al-Gharafa. Now, Al-Duhail aims to recover from this setback as they prepare to face Al-Markhiya on Wednesday.

The defending champions are currently 5th in the league table with overall league statistics of two wins, a draw, and a loss from four games played.

Al-Duhail has emerged victorious in their last 4 encounters.

Al-Markhiya finds themselves in a dire situation, with no wins in the league this season and a total of 11 goals conceded. Furthermore, they have not managed to defeat Al-Duhail in their last four league encounters, and we do not anticipate that changing on Thursday. Al-Duhail is confident of winning this game convincingly. Betting on an away win with over 2.5 goals at 1.64 odds is a solid prediction.
