Match Preview
Al Gharafa will face Al-Arabi SC in an intriguing Stars League encounter at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium on Friday. The hosts come into this match with a mixed bag of results, having secured two wins, a draw, and two losses in their last five outings. In contrast, Al-Arabi SC's form has been concerning, with four consecutive losses followed by a draw, indicating potential fragility in their squad. Historically, this fixture has often produced goals, with six of the last ten meetings seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. Given Al Gharafa's slightly better form and home advantage, they will look to exploit Al-Arabi's defensive vulnerabilities. This match could hinge on Al Gharafa's ability to convert chances, especially against a side struggling to find their rhythm. Fans can expect a competitive clash, but Al Gharafa might just edge it if they capitalize on their opportunities.
