Doha: Al Sadd are looking to clinch the record-extending 17th title when they will take on Al Shamal at Al Bayt Stadium in the penultimate round of the Expo Stars League (ESL) today.
All the sides will be in action simultaneously in the crucial round, which will play an important role in determining the top four order and the teams to be relegated.
The Wolves, who are five points clear of Al Rayyan and Al Gharafa – both on 41 points – are not willing to take the title race down to the wire and want to seize their triumph against Al Shamal.
“Our goal is to win and get the three points to officially win the League title,” Al Sadd coach Wesam Rizik said yesterday.
“There is no pressure on us as a team. We will play the Al Shamal match like any other match,” he added.
