Al-Qadsia is gearing up for a crucial clash against Kazma at 8 PM today, Saturday, in the fifth round of the Kuwaiti Premier League, hoping to bounce back after disappointing results. ⚽

The team currently sits fourth in the league standings with 7 points, three behind leaders Al-Kuwait, while Kazma is sixth with 6 points, making the match critical for climbing the table.

Al-Qadsia suffered consecutive defeats, first against Al-Kuwait 2 – 1 in the league and then against Iraq’s Zakho in the first group stage match of the Gulf Champions League, adding pressure on today’s encounter.

Coach Nabil Maaloul relies on the trio of Mahmoud Kahraba, Bader Al-Mutawa, and Mohammed Sula to secure victory, with Eid Al-Rashidi out due to injury, placing added responsibility on Kahraba’s shoulders.

Kahraba aims to shine once again for Al-Qadsia, having been selected in the league’s best XI in the third round following his brilliant performance in the 5 – 1 win over Al-Fahaheel, where he scored and assisted. This marks his second appearance in the "team of the week," after also making the list in the first round, scoring once and assisting twice in the 4 – 0 win against Al-Nasr.
