Comparative Team Statistics: Lusail City vs Al Shamal

Previous meetings

The two sides have met five times, all between 2019 and 2021, so none of this reflects the current squads or form. Lusail City won three of those, including a 5-1 home win, while Al Shamal took one game 3-1 away.

Given how long ago these results are, they're really just historical context rather than something to lean on for this fixture.

Where they stand early on

Al Shamal are third with eight points from four games, having won two and drawn two without losing. Lusail City sit sixth on five points, with one win, two draws and a defeat from the same number of matches.

It's worth remembering this is only a four-game sample, so the placings could shift quickly either way over the coming weeks.

Al Shamal have the better early return, but neither side has played enough games to call this settled.

Where the goals might come from

Bounedjah has been Al Shamal's main source of goals recently, with three in four matches, and Awad has chipped in two more. Ben Romdhane and M. Omar have both provided assists, suggesting more than one route to goal for the away side.

For Lusail City, Zavoshi has two goals in his last four outings, with Firouzi involved in both scoring and creating chances. Neither team looks short of attacking contributors, even if final output has been inconsistent.
