    On loan, Mamelodi Sundowns attacker Thembinkosi Lorch has been doing well for Wydad despite their struggles in the competition.

    Mohamed Rayhi might also get some minutes after spending most of the time on the bench.

    Al Ain team news & squad

    Moroccan forward Soufiane Rahimi has not made the desired impact for the club, despite his quality, as seen in the 2024 AFC Champions League, where he was named the Most Valuable Player. 

    Goalkeeper Rui Patricio might start between the sticks, while Kouame Autonne and Kaku might get a run as well.

    Al Ain Probable XI: Patricio, Autonne, Park, Rabia, Traore, Nader, Palacios, Chadli, Kaku, Laba, Rahimi

  • Head-to-head and recent form

    Both Wydad AC and Al Ain have lost their initial Group G games, which puts them out of the competition.

    However, while the North African outfit have conceded six goals and scored one in the process, their opponents have shipped in 11 goals without reply.

    This will be the first time the two teams are palying each other in the competition hoping to end it on a high.
