Al Nassr and Al Sadd get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this AFC Champions League Group Stage fixture.
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.

Al Sadd form and stats
Al Sadd was sent out of AFC Champions League in the semi-finals last season, when Al Hilal turned out to be too strong.Al Sadd have an excellent away record in the Premier League so far with 5-0-2 from 7 games. The fact that Al Sadd have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Al Sadd, as they have won on their previous two travels.
Impressive finishing from Akram Afif (3) secured the home win 3-0 against Al Sailiya in their previous game. Prior to that match, a home win 4-2 against Al Shahaniya in the Premier League.
It's hard not to mention Akram Afif's lethal finishing against Al Sailiya. three goals was a big reason for the important victory.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Al Sadd manager X. Hernández Creus as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Qatar SC.
Al Sadd are scoring goals for fun in their league games away this season, having clocked up more than three goals per game on average (25 goals from 7 away games). Al Sadd have conceded 11 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
