Preview - S-final (2nd Leg): Sharjah FC (UAE) 0 v 1 Al Taawoun FC (KSA)
Sharjah: Al Taawoun FC will have to brace themselves for a full on assault from Sharjah FC when the sides meet in the return leg of their AFC Champions League Two™ 2024/25 semi-final on Tuesday.
Saudi Arabia's Al Taawoun will be defending a one-goal lead, courtesy of Abdelhamid Sabiri's second minute effort, but UAE's Sharjah will be confident of overturning the deficit.

The first leg was an extremely tight affair with both sides doing a great job in nullifying each other's attacks.

Sharjah, however, had the better chances but were let down by wayward finishing and Cosmin Olariu will remind his players they can be wasteful on Tuesday.

With a place in the final just one match away, Sharjah will also have to rediscover their winning touch - having not won their last two AFC Champions League Two home games.

While Sharjah had the week off to prepare for the return leg, Al Taawoun will head into the tie having settled for a 1-1 draw with Al Akhdoud in their Saudi Pro League tie.

The result left them in sixth spot and well off the pace for a spot in next season's continental tournaments but winning the AFC Champions League title will mean earning an indirect preliminary stage slot for the AFC Champions League Elite™ 2025/26.

While they will be focused on defending their lead, Al Taawoun will look to hit Sharjah when opportunities arise but they will have to be much sharper than they were in the first leg where they only managed one shot on target.
