Preview - Group A: Kuwait SC (KUW) v Al Seeb Club (OMA)

Seeb: Head coach Boris Bunjak believes his knowledge of opponents Kuwait SC will help his Al Seeb side get a result in the crucial AFC Cup™ 2022 Group A clash on Saturday.

The Serbian spent seven years coaching several clubs in the Kuwait Premier League, including a brief stint as interim manager at Kuwait SC in 2017-18, before joining Al Seeb in December 2021 and leading them to their second Oman Pro League title.

Having started their debut AFC Cup campaign with a 1-0 win over Jableh, Bunjak’s men go into Saturday’s clash against last year’s West Zonal Finalists with a chance of sealing a place in the next round with a game to spare should they get the three points.

Preview - Group D: Maziya Sports & Recreation v Gokulam Kerala FC (IND)

Kolkata: It will be all about minimising mistakes and converting chances when Maziya Sports & Recreation Club attempt to keep their AFC Cup™ 2022 hopes alive against Gokulam Kerala FC.

An opening day 1-0 defeat to Bangladesh's Bashundhara Kings means another loss on Saturday will end Maziya's hopes with a match to spare.

Preview - Group D: ATK Mohun Bagan (IND) v Bashundhara Kings (BAN)

Kolkata: ATK Mohun Bagan will focus only on the positives when they take on Bashundhara Kings in Group D of the AFC Cup 2022™ at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan Stadium on Saturday. 

ATK Mohun Bagan's bid to advance to the Inter-Zone semi-finals suffered a blow when they fell 4-2 to fellow Indian side Gokulam Kerala FC on Matchday One.

With only the top team to advance to the Inter-Zone semi-finals, defeat against Bangladesh's Bashundhara Kings - who defeated Maziya Sports & Recreation Club in their opener - would mean early elimination for Juan Ferrando's side.
