Champions Al Sadd take on Qatar SC today in their final match, looking to conclude a phenomenal QNB Stars League (QSL) season on a high ahead of their Asian Champions League (ACL) campaign, which kicks off next week. ‘The Wolves’ - having sealed the title in Round 18 – have not suffered a single defeat this season and a victory against ‘The Kings’ today will be icing on the cake for Xavi Hernandez-coached side. They have accumulated 57 points from 18 victories and three draws, scoring a whopping 74 goals, while conceding only 14 goals. However, Qatar SC, coached by Younes Ali, will be hoping to surpass Al Ahli to finish fourth in order to qualify for ACL.
