Al-Duhail SC vs Al-Shahaniya SC Prediction: Duhail remains strong at the top of the league

Al-Duhail and Al-Shahaniya are set to clash at the Abdullah Bin Hamad Stadium on Friday, with both teams eager to grab all three points. Shahaniya is not to be toiled with as they are unbeaten in their last 4 league games with four consecutive league wins. Duhail on the other hand faltered a little in their last league game with a defeat to Al-Sadd. I expect an exciting match with plenty of goals and a possible victory for Duhail. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, key stats, and my expert opinion.

Al-Duhail SC (1st)

Form in the League: LWWDW

Duhail continues to uphold its position at the top of the league table and there’s only a point margin between them and their arch-rivals Al-Sadd. Al-Sadd overpowered Al-Duhail in their last league game even though Duhail got a red card in the 52nd minute. They are still in pursuit of Championship glory this season and they cannot afford another slip-up, not at this critical point. 

Duhail is an attacking-minded team and they also have the most goals in the league this season with 41 goals scored and just 13 conceded. Michale Olunga is the man in front of the goal for Duhail with a total of 9 goals already to his name this season. Michael Olunga is the team's top scorer with 9 goals and they are still top of the league with 11 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses from 16 games played. 

Al-Shahaniya SC (11th)

Form in the League: WWWWL

What an amazing feat it has been for Duhail as they've secured four consecutive league victories in their last four league games. Their most recent league game against Umm Salal was a cracker which eventually ended in a 3-2 victory to Shahaniya all thanks to an 84th-minute goal from Koroma. Now they go up against the current league leaders and one of the most decorated teams in the Qatar Stars League on Friday and they must put on their best game if they intend to stand any chance. They are currently 5th placed in the league with 7 wins, 2 draws, and 7 losses from 16 games played. 

Head-To-Head Statistics

A critical look at their last 10 meetings produced 6 victories for Duhail, a win for Al-Shahaniya, and 3 draws. 

Expert Betting Tips

Duhail is on fire, scoring 41 goals in their last 16 league games, Al-Shahaniya, on the other hand, is on fire with an unbeaten record in their last four league games. However, Duhail has the power and right form to quench Shahaniya’s fire and we believe this would be the case on Friday when they meet. A win or draw and a total of over 2.5 goals for Duhail is our first bet. 

To be honest, Duhail is stronger in terms of form and I believe they’ll not lose here. They're the league leaders for a reason! Another bet I like is the corner option. With the high attacking style of both teams, there should be an increased amount of corners in this game. Shahaniya will not go down without a fight and we can as well tip them for a goal on Friday. 

Our first prediction is a second half over 1.5 goals for 1.62 odds 1xBet.

Our second prediction is a win for Duhail and a total of over 2.5 goals for 1.65 odds at Betway.

Our third prediction is a total of over 3.5 goals for 1.92 odds at Bet365.
