Despite their recent struggles, Al-Duhail has now secured two consecutive league victories and will be gunning for a third as they prepare to take on Umm Salal on Wednesday. Regardless of the outcome of this game, the defending champions failed to secure qualification to the AFC Champions League. What a bad season for the defending champions. Their most recent league game against Muaither SC ended in a 2-5 defeat with Michael Olunga getting a brace and Philipe Coutinho also getting his name on the scoresheet. As the Qatari League nears its end, Duhail will be hoping to finish the season in high spirits. As defending champions currently positioned 5th in the league table, Al-Duhail holds an overall record of eight wins, four draws, and eight losses from 20 games played.

A critical look at the last 9 games between them produced 6 wins for Duhail, two wins for Umm Salal, and a draw.

Duhail seems to have regained their confidence and accumulated an impressive goal-scoring record, with 12 goals in their last five encounters at an average of two goals per game. Umm Salal on the other hand is a tough team to play against and they will not go down without a fight. Let us also not forget that Umm Salal defeated Duhail with a 1-0 scoreline in the first-leg encounter last year and Duhail will try to avoid a defeat against Umm Salal for the second time this season. Betting on a victory or draw and a total of over 2.5 goals for Duhail is a good betting option.
