They mainly adopt a 5-3-2 defensive formation, relying on foreign players Diallo and Okou for offensive support. On the other hand, Al-Gharafa is a strong team in the Qatari League. They consistently ranked high in the Qatari League last season, boasting a powerful offensive line. With a solid foreign player roster, they scored over 45 goals and conceded 32 in the league. Their away games showed a balanced performance in both offense and defense. They usually use a 4-2-3-1 possession-based playing style, with a midfield that has strong organizational and advancing capabilities.

They have little motivation to compete for points and are more likely to use rotational line - ups for training purposes.
