Comparative Team Statistics: Al Shahaniya vs Lusail City

History favours Al Shahaniya, but it's a while back

Across the ten recorded meetings since 2020, Al Shahaniya have won five, Lusail just one, with four draws. Most of those results date back several seasons, so they say more about history than current form.

The freshest data point is last December's QSL Cup tie, which finished 1-1. That's the only meeting from the current run of form for either side.

Old dominance doesn't automatically carry into an early-season league meeting.

Barely anything between them

After four games this season, Lusail sit sixth with five points, one place and one point above Al Shahaniya in seventh. It's an extremely tight early picture with nothing decisive to separate them yet.

Goals have followed both sides around

Al Shahaniya have already conceded nine in four league games this season, while Lusail have shipped four. Both attacks have found the net seven times apiece, so scoring hasn't been the issue for either.

Antonucci has been Al Shahaniya's most reliable source of goals with three in four matches, while Zavoshi leads the way for Lusail with two. Both sides look more comfortable going forward than defending right now.
