Match Preview
Al Ahli host Al-Gharafa in the AFC Champions League Elite, with Marino Pusic's side looking to build on a strong run of form in continental competition.
Al Ahli arrive in excellent shape. Four wins from their last five matches across all competitions point to a team firing on multiple fronts, and their AFC Champions League Elite campaign has given them genuine momentum heading into this fixture.
Al-Gharafa, managed by Pedro Martins, come into the match in a different frame of mind. The Qatari side have struggled for consistency, picking up just one win in their last five outings and sitting well outside the top positions in the West standings.
The head-to-head record between these two sides in this competition leans heavily in Al Ahli's favour, and the Saudi club will be expected to press that advantage at home.
For Al-Gharafa, this is a chance to arrest a difficult run and show they can compete at this level. Martins will need a sharp performance from his squad to get anything from the match.
