AFC Cup betting and spectator preview: Al Ansar and Al Salt meet at King Abdullah International Stadium to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Al Ansar form and stats
Ansar was eliminated in the group stage last season in the AFC Cup.The happy trend is alive also outside their own arena as Ansar has won their last four matches.
Ansar are returning here after visiting Markez Balata in a AFC Cup game and winning with a 2-0 scoreline. Hassan Maatouk and Mahmoud Kojok scored the goal(s).
Previous to that game, a Premier League home match hosting Al Nejmeh in a game that was won 2-1.The match schedule is unforgiving for Ansar as they have a new game in only three days, a AFC Cup match thankfully also at home. Muharraq are visiting.
Al Salt form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Premier League travels is 1 win, 3 draws and 0 defeats. Things are running smoothly for Salt who hasn't tasted defeat in their last 13 matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Shabab Al Ordon.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a AFC Cup home defeat versus Muharraq with 0-1 on the scoreboard.
Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Al Wihdat.A new game in only three days for Al Salt, the AFC Cup home match versus Markez Balata. Busy days.
The attacking power of Al Salt when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. Salt are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 2 away goals have been conceded so far.
