Al Sadd will welcome Nasaf to Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in the AFC Champions League on Monday.

We are in the final matchday of the AFC Champions League group stage, with the fate of most teams already known. In Group B, the first three teams are still in the gunning for a qualification spot. However, Al-Faisaly of Jordan have been eliminated after recording one win and four defeats in five matches.

Al Sadd are third placed with seven points, three shy of the top spot. The Qatari side could make it to the summit if they succeed on Monday. Al Zaeem lost 3-1 in the first leg against group leaders Nasaf – their second defeat in a row against the Uzbekistani side. Al Sadd are unbeaten at home in their last five matches.

The visitors are the only team in the group to have won thrice, alongside one draw and one loss. Nasaf sit atop with ten points but are far from being safe, as any outcome short of a win could be detrimental. Second-placed Sharjah (eight points) are eying maximum points against Al-Faisaly, which would take their total to 11.

The Dragons are in the form of their life presently, losing only two games in their last 21 outings, and winning 13. They finished second in the 2023 Uzbekistan Super League behind champions Pakhtakor but still earned qualification to the AFC Champions League. Nasaf’s last visit to Al Sadd ended in a 1-1 draw.
