Preview - Group A: Jableh (SYR) v Kuwait SC (KUW)

Muscat: Jableh SC assistant coach Ali Barakat wants his players to continue proving they are a match for other teams in Group A of the AFC Cup™ 2022 as they prepare to end their group stage campaign with a decisive clash against group leaders Kuwait SC on Tuesday.

Making their continental debut, Jableh SC bounced back from a 1-0 defeat at the hands of group hosts Al Seeb to overcome Lebanon’s Al Ansar with the same score thanks to Hussain Al Jwayed’s added time strike, helping them go into the final matchday with a chance of achieving historic qualification to the next round.

Preview - Group A: Al Ansar (LBN) v Al Seeb Club (OMA)

Muscat: Head coach Boris Bunjak called on his Al Seeb players to keep their composure in front of goal if they are to defeat Al Ansar when the two sides lock horns on Matchday Three of the AFC Cup™ 2022 Group A on Tuesday.

The Omani side attempted 10 shots in their previous outing against Kuwait SC but were left frustrated by their own inability to convert them into goals as they fell to a 2-1 defeat.

Al Seeb still have a good chance of progressing to the knockout stage at the first time of asking, should they collect the three points against Al Ansar in the final game, while the top spot might be beyond their reach unless Kuwait SC drop points against Jableh in the other Tuesday fixture.

Preview - Group B: Dhofar Club (OMA) v Arabi SC (KUW)

Kuwait City: Arabi SC will not play if safe when they face Dhofar Club in their final AFC Cup™ 2022 Group B tie at the Kuwait Sports Club Stadium on Tuesday.

The hosts - having won their previous two matches - only need a point to confirm their spot in the West Zonal Semi-finals but head coach Ante Mise insisted victory was their only target against Oman's Dhofar Club.

Kuwait City: Head coach Ali Ashoor wants a tight defensive display when Al Riffa bid to keep their AFC Cup™ 2022 hopes alive in their final Group B clash against Shabab Al Khalil on Tuesday.

Al Riffa sit on three points from two matches but Ashoor admitted the five goals they have conceded have surprised him, with the Bahrain side needing victory against Palestine's Shabab Al Khalil to stay in the competition.

Preview - Group C: Tishreen (SYR) v Nejmeh SC (LBN)

Wed, 25 May, 2022

Preview - Group C: Tishreen (SYR) v Nejmeh SC (LBN)

Muharraq: Victory will be the only option for both teams when Tishreen and Nejmeh SC square off in their final AFC Cup™ Group C tie at the Muharraq Stadium on Tuesday.

Of the two, Lebanon's Nejmeh are better placed as they share the lead with Bahrain's East Riffa, with both on four points - having played to a 1-1 draw in their Matchday One encounter.

Syrian side Tishreen have only one point to show and anything but a win will dash their hopes of advancing to the West Zonal Semi-finals.

Preview - Group C: East Riffa (BHR) v Hilal Alquds (PLE)

Wed, 25 May, 2022

Preview - Group C: East Riffa (BHR) v Hilal Alquds (PLE)

Muharraq: East Riffa head coach Florin Motrok expects total concentration when the Bahraini side play Hilal Alquds in their concluding AFC Cup™ 2022 Group C tie on Tuesday.

At stake is a place in the West Zonal Semi-finals, with East Riffa sharing the Group C lead with Lebanon's Nejmeh SC, with both teams on four points and an identical goal difference.

A crucial advantage for East Riffa, however, is that they will face Hilal Alquds after the Tishreen-Nejmeh tie at the Muharraq Stadium.
