Doha, Qatar: Al Rayyan will make all out efforts to secure full points against Al Shahania as the Ooredoo Stars League (OSL) resumes following a three-week international break tomorrow.
The Lions will play their fourth round tie at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium where they will also be hosting Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal in their opening match of the AFC Champions League Elite four days later.
Al Rayyan are looking to bounce back in the Qatari top flight after back-to-back defeats to Al Duhail and Al Gharafa.
During the break, they consolidated their squad roping in the likes of Moroccan winger Achraf Bencharki and Palestinian international Mohamed Saleh.
Al Rayyan are currently placed eighth in the OSL standings with three points and a win tomorrow will not only help them improve their position in the Qatari top flight but it will also boost the confidence of Poya Asbaghi’s men before they take on Neymar-powered Al Hilal in the West Asian clash of the continental showpiece on Tuesday.
