Al Duhail play Ulsan Hyundai at the Al Rayyan Stadium to decide the fifth-place team of the FIFA Club World Cup 2021, hoping to salvage some pride in front of the local fans.
The Red Knights saw their campaign end at the hands of Egyptian side Al Ahly, losing 1-0 in the second round of the competition. Hussein El Shahat's 30th-minute strike made all the difference.
In their first-ever appearance at the Club World Cup, the reigning champions of the Qatar Stars League were hoping to become the first side from the Gulf nation to reach the finals.
However, they flattered to deceive in the last match and must now settle for a fifth-place at best, provided Sabri Lamouchi's side beat the winless Ulsan.
The Korean outfit, playing in only their second Club World Cup finals, have lost all three of their games in the competition so far.
They were beaten twice in the 2012 edition, and most recently lost to Mexico's Tigres UNAL in the last round. That result left them in search of their first win in the competition.
Perhaps this Sunday will finally be the day they break their duck.
