Kuala Lumpur: It’s crunch time for many of the 2017 AFC Cup teams in the West Zone with Matchday Five potentially seeing some sides advance to the last 16 and others having their elimination confirmed.
A number of crucial fixtures will take place at the beginning of next week as Group C resumes on Monday and Groups A and B take centre stage a day later.
Group C
Table-toppers Al Wehdat of Jordan will guarantee at least a top-two place in Group C of the AFC Cup should they defeat Lebanon’s Nejmeh on Monday.
After successive defeats, opponents Nejmeh must win to avoid being eliminated from the continental competition. But the Lebanese side will be without Ahmed Taktouk after his dismissal in the 1-0 reversal to Bahrain’s Al Muharraq two weeks ago.
Elsewhere, Al Muharraq will also confirm their place in the top two with a win over Oman’s Saham, who will be unable to call on the suspended Musaab Al Sharqi and will exit should they lose.
