Doha, Qatar: Coach Wesam Rizk yesterday said Al Sadd have great motivation to beat Al Wakrah as the two in-form sides face off in the highly-anticipated Amir Cup quarter-final at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium tonight.
Al Wakrah ended Expo Stars League (ESL) champions Al Sadd’s chances of earning a treble this season beating them in the Qatar Cup semi-final on penalties earlier this month.
Rizk was expecting another pulsating game against the Blue Wave but said his players were upbeat ahead of the clash with their sights set on semi-final spot in quest for a record-extending 19th title.
“The task is tougher than our win over Al Markhiya,” Rizk said referring to his team’s 3-2 victory when the Wolves overcame a late fightback from Al Markhiya in the Round of 16.
