International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Al Ahed and Al-Nahda are looking forward to this AFC Cup fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
These teams have little in common geographically as Al-Nahda have to travel 2600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Al Ahed form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Al Ahed's two home games in the Premier League so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Al-Seeb Stadium.
Al Ahed enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Al Hikma's place. The match ended 2-1 with Haj and Haidar scoring.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Al Ahli Nabatiya and winning 4-0.There will be little rest for Al Ahed after this match as they are travelling to Shabab Al Sahel for a Premier League game in only four days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Al Ahed at home in the league. 6 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Al-Nahda form and stats
As the visiting team in Professional League matches, Al-Nahda have produced an overall stat of 0-1-0 so far.
Al-Nahda go into this game after a win, the home game against Ibri that ended 3-1.
Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Al Wehda in the Professional League.Al-Nahda have the goal stats of 1-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
