While Al Wasl comfortably booked their Round of 16 spot, their recent form has been inconsistent with their last two League Stage matches ending in defeat.

 

Their domestic form has also been patchy, with a 2-1 defeat to Khor Fakkan on Thursday leaving them on 27 points and their title defence as good as over.

Al Sadd, on the other hand, are firing on all cylinders after qualifying for the knockout stage of the continental tournament for the first time since 2020.

 

Felix Sanchez's side are well in place to defend their Qatar Stars League title, a 4-0 win over Al Gharafa SC on Thursday moving them to 37 points - one behind Al Duhail SC.

 

The mercurial Akram Afif is also in fine form on the continent, his four goals from seven matches already matching his total tally over 17 matches from the previous three seasons.

Venue: Zabeel Stadium (Dubai)
