Recap
According to the last official announcement of Al-Duhail offical FB page, they will play with their U21 team in the first Cup match. Due to national team calls, out of the squad are Michael Olunga (3/4 top scorer), Salah Zakaria (3/0 first goalkeeper), Youssef Aymen (3/0), Ali Almoez (3/0), and Karim Boudiaf (2/0). Al Markhiya is a newly promoted team in Qatar first league and opened the season with 3 defeats in a row. They have a solid squad with players like Yusupha Njie (last year top scorer of Boavista), Joao Teixeira (last year second scorer of Chaves), and Naby Sarr (last season 24 caps for Reading). The odds heavily crashed on their win, but I still think that has some value.
