16:00 kick-off at Al Ahli Stadium

Al Kharaitiyat face Al Arabi in Week 10 of the 2020-21 season QNB Stars League. The kick-off is at 16:00 at the Al Ahli Stadium on Wednesday, 23rd December, 2020.

Both teams are in a precarious position and coming off defeats in the last round by an identical 0-2 margin, Al Kharaitiyat and Al Arabi losing to Al Ahli and Al Duhail respectively.

Al Kharaitiyat and Al Arabi are also the two bottom-placed teams (both on six points), but the latter are better placed on goal difference (-10 as against the former’s -14.

Al Kharaitiyat scored six goals and conceded 20, whereas Al Arabi scored nine goals and conceded 19.

Al Kharaitiyat have registered two victories and seven defeats, while Al Arabi have one win, three draws and five losses.

Al Kharaitiyat coach Yousef Adam will rely more on players like Rachid Tiberkanine and Evans Mensah to score against the Al Arabi goalpost manned by Mahmoud Abunada.
