Al Gharafa and AMGK get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this AFC Champions League Play-offs fixture.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Premier League match only four days ago. This match was also played here. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, AMGK have had more rest.
It's quite the trip for AMGK when visiting Gharafa as the cities are 3900 kilometers apart.
Al Gharafa form and stats
Last season their AFC Champions League adventure ended in the play-offs.The story so far in the Premier League for Al Gharafa at their home stadium is 4 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats. It's been an uphill battle for Gharafa in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Al Arabi game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat. Gharafa has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager S. Jokanović and the players.
S. W. Kanon was the last player to score a league goal for Al Gharafa and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Al Gharafa haven't scored in 186 minutes.
The Gharafa fans got no joy from their last match, a Premier League game also here: A 0-2 defeat against Al Sadd. Preceding that match was a QSL Cup defeat to Al Rayyan (0-3).
Gharafa are traveling soon after this match as the Premier League match at Umm Salal awaits in three days.
Al Gharafa has scored 16 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. On the other hand, Gharafa have conceded 16 goals.
AMGK form and stats
AMGK's mission in AFC Champions League last season failed in the play-offs.0 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. That’s the product of AMGK playing as the away team in the Professional Football League this season. Visiting AMGK has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.
The supporters enjoyed AMGK's previous game versus Navbahor, a Professional Football League 2-1 win played at home. A 0-3 loss hosting Pakhtakor before that.
It's early days yet, but AMGK has scored 1 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
