DOHA, Qatar (Interstat) — Al Gharafa II hosts Al Sadd II on Saturday, June 13, 2026, in Week 11 of the Qatar Reserve League, a matchup that pits two sides seeking consistency after contrasting results in their most recent outings.

Al Sadd II enters the game on a high, having edged Al Wakrah II 4-3 on May 1, 2023. That victory snapped a two-match winless run and showcased the team’s attacking firepower. However, defensive fragility remains a concern — Al Sadd II has conceded three or more goals in three of its last five league matches.

Al Gharafa II, conversely, is still smarting from a 5-0 defeat at Al Markhiya II on that same May 1 date. The loss was the team’s second in three games and left it with a minus-2 goal differential in the season’s early weeks. Coach Khalid Al-Mohannadi has emphasized defensive organization in training this week, hoping to avoid another lopsided result.

Saturday’s fixture marks the second meeting between the reserve sides this season. In the first encounter, played Jan. 15, Al Gharafa II earned a 2-1 away victory. That result contributed to a tight standings picture: Al Sadd II sits sixth with 13 points, while Al Gharafa II is eighth with 11 points. A win for either side could shift the middle of the table.

Statistical projections from Interstat offer a mixed outlook. The game simulator forecasts a 2-2 draw, suggesting an evenly matched contest. Meanwhile, Interstat’s ELO rating system gives Al Gharafa II a 52.90 percent probability of winning, reflecting a slight home-field edge. The teams’ recent form, however, cuts both ways: Al Sadd II’s momentum versus Al Gharafa II’s motivation to rebound.

Key players to watch include Al Sadd II striker Fahad Al-Abdulrahman, who has four goals in his last three starts, and Al Gharafa II midfielder Youssef Al-Hajri, who contributed a goal and an assist in the earlier victory over Al Sadd II.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. local time at Thani bin Jassim Stadium. No major injuries have been reported for either side. The match will be streamed live on the Qatar Football Association’s digital platform.
