Kuala Lumpur: Seven teams in the 2017 AFC Cup West Zone will battle it out for four Zonal Semi-final places with top spot in Groups A, B and C still up for grabs as well as the best-placed runner-up spot.
Group C will take centre stage on Monday, before Groups A and B return to action a day later in what promises to be an action-packed two nights of drama on the continent.
Group C
Table-toppers Al Muharraq of Bahrain travel to Jordan’s Al Wehdat on Monday leading their opponents by a point and in the knowledge that they will secure top spot should they avoid defeat.
Al Wehdat would win the group with a victory, but anything else would leave finishing in the highest runner-up spot dependent on other results. Sayed Jaafar returns from suspension for the visitors, who have Mahdi Ali and Ismaeel Abdullatif out after bookings on Matchday Five.
Elsewhere, Oman’s Saham and Nejmeh of Lebanon will look to avoid finishing bottom in the standings when they face off in Muscat after having their eliminations confirmed two weeks ago.
Moatasem Al Shibli and Abdoulaye Dieng are suspended for the hosts who have Musaab Al Sharqi available once more, while Nejmeh welcome back Ahmad Taktouk.
