There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Premier League game only two days ago.

Al Ansar participated in AFC Cup the last season, where they reached the group stage.Perfect Premier League season at home so far for Al Ansar 2 wins from 2 appearances. Al Ansar has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Beirut Municipal Stadium. We remember; it was Al Nejmeh. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Al Ansar has won six games in a row. The Al Nejmeh match was the last time out without a victory.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Al Ansar, as the Premier League home game vs Shabab Al Sahel is only one day away.
