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.

The match promises to be another stiff test for the Maldives side with Gokulam Kerala having impressed in their 4-2 win against fellow Indian side ATK Mohun Bagan on Matchday One.

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.

Al Seeb's attacking display in Jableh victory delights Bunjak

Seeb: Head coach Boris Bunjak hailed his Al Seeb side’s attacking efforts after they edged out Syria’s Jableh SC 1-0 to win their opening match of the AFC Cup™ 2022 Group A on Wednesday.

Facing a fellow debutant side, Bunjak’s men conceded play in the early proceedings, but quickly regrouped and grew into the game, finally getting their goal just before the half-time whistle as veteran midfielder Eid Al Farsi hammered home a strike from the edge of the area, which proved to be enough to seal the three points for the group hosts.
