Al Duhail vs Al Arabi prediction 28.12.2023

• Competition: QSL Cup 
• Date: Thursday, 28th December 2023
• Kickoff: 16:30 UTC / 17:30 CET
• Venue: Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium (Doha)

Al Duhail celebrated their 8th national league title in history last season. Despite having similar aspirations this year, their performance has been lackluster. After twelve rounds, they find themselves in the middle of the table with 17 points. It appears unlikely that Christophe Galtier’s squad could replicate their past success, particularly given their recent performance &— one draw and three losses in the last four matches. Their previous match ended with a 5-3 loss at home to Al Ahli Doha. Despite the guests only having 29% ball possession and eight shots fewer than Al Duhail, they still managed to secure a significant victory.

Al Arabi also had a fantastic previous season, finishing just two points behind Al Duhail. Like their forthcoming opponent, they are currently a mid-table team, having amassed 17 points so far this season. Al Arabi has significantly improved, going undefeated in their last six games. In their most recent match, they drew 0-0 away against Shamal. Despite being the favored team to win, the guests didn’t perform to the expected standard, resulting in a point split between the two teams.

Al Duhail vs Al Arabi pick: Over 3.5 goals

In the previous three head-to-head matches, both Al Duhail and Al Arabi have had games with four or more goals. The most recent game in September ended in a 3-3 draw. Therefore, betting on over 3.5 goals should be a safe bet for the upcoming tie.
