Al Shamal, led by Baghdad Bounedjah, will be brimming with confidence after a convincing 5-2 win over Al Arabi. They are currently in sixth place with 10 points.
In the upcoming match against Al Rayyan, Al Ahli will focus on winning and securing the crucial points to stay in the race for the top spot.
