International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Al Ansar and Wathba are looking forward to this AFC Cup fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
Al Ansar have less rest than Wathba in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Premier League game only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Al Ahed, was also a home game here at Camille Chamoun Sports City Stadium. The away team is better rested.
Al Ansar form and stats
Last season, Ansar's AFC Cup journey ended in the group stage.As mentioned below, Al Ansar are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Premier League games. 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 Camille Chamoun Sports City 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.
A nice win for Ansar last time playing, versus Al Ahed. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1. Before that, Ansar had a Premier League home game versus Shabab Al Ghazieh which ended with a victory 3-0.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Al Ansar at home in the league. 6 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Wathba form and stats
As the visiting team in Premier League matches, Wathba have produced an overall stat of 1-0-0 so far.
It's the second away game in a row for Wathba, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Al Sahel in the Premier League last time out. Before that, Wathba travelled to Hottin and returned home with a draw after the Premier League game finished 1-1.
2 goals so far away for Wathba, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.
