Shamal vs Al Wakra Prediction & Betting Tips (14 February)

Winning away games was something that Al Wakra did regularly towards the back end of last season, with the eventual runners-up securing five victories in their final eight trips. Shamal, by way of contrast, ran into plenty of difficulties on their own patch, suffering four defeats in seven top-flight fixtures, so they have little reason for optimism ahead of this clash.

If recent Shamal home games are anything to go by, then it would come as a surprise to see more than three successful strikes in this contest, as 16 of their last 19 matches at the Shamal stadium have produced under 3.5 goals. This has also been the case in 14 of the most recent 16 games involving Al Wakra in the QSL, so all the signs point one way.

Both teams have found the net in just two of the most recent 10 top-flight fixtures involving Shamal, so it is quite rare for this to happen when they take to the field. It has been a virtually identical story as far as Al Wakra are concerned, as 10 of their previous 12 matches at this level have seen at least one of the two keepers emerge with a clean sheet.
