DOHA (Qatar): Al Gharafa are targeting a win against QNB Stars League Week 5 match against Al Sailiya in the Qatar Stars League on Monday.
“I remember that our matches against Al Sailiya last season were difficult and I hope we will show a better level than what we presented against them last season, especially since this match is of great importance to us,” said Gharafa coach Slavisa Jokanovic.
In their previous game against Al Kharaitiyat, Koo Ja-Cheol (67) and Jonathan Kodjia (85) scored to seal three points.
Al Gharafa, who have nine points, had finished fourth last season.
“We know that we will be facing opponents who have good experience. They have some outstanding players and can win against any side. That makes us wary of them,” added Jokanovic.
“We must always think about what is coming and the next match against Al Sailiya is important, especially since the league will stop for a while. And we want to win so that we are ready for the matches that follow, especially our fixture against Al Duhail, which we do not want to talk about now.”
