The home team are still elated with their big win against city rivals Al
Nasr last week. Their gifted Iranian striker Ali Karimi had a brilliant in
match but went out injured. The Al Ahli medical staff are working hard to
make him fit for today's crucial encounter. Salim Khamis, Faisal Khalil,
Yousuf Atiq, Rasheed bin Mahmood, Mohammed Qassim, Ahmed Shah and Ali Saeed
will be ready to win three points and jump to the top place.
Al Wahda whipped lowly Al Khaleej 6-1 last week to take top of the table
spot. The defending champions will be led by deadly strikers Yasir Salim and
Qatari Mohammed Ennazy. Mohammed Conti is doubtful to take part due to an
injury. Brothers Abdul Salam and Abdul Rahim Juma, Fahd Masood, Haydar Allo
Ali will be in the midfield with Abdullah Salim, Omer Omer, Salim Zayed in
defense.
