Shabab Al Ahli Dubai and Al Wihdat get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this AFC Champions League Preliminary Round fixture.
Al Wihdat have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
