Doha: The iconic Al Bayt Stadium will host the anticipated clash between Al Rayyan and Al Gharafa with both the title contenders hoping to bounce at the Ooredoo Stars League (OSL).
The match – set to take place on Friday – will take the limelight in the third round of the OSL as the top Qatar sides will lock horns for the first time this season.
Both the teams were engaged in a close battle in the top flight the last season with Al Rayyan edging Al Gharafa to finish runners-up behind champions Al Sadd. Al Gharafa settled for a third place in the standings.
Again, the two teams will enter the match desperate for points having lost their respective matches in the last round.
After beating Umm Salal 3-1 in their opening game, Al Rayyan suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat against rivals Al Duhail with their coach Poya Asbaghi blaming mistakes for the loss.
