AFC Cup betting and spectator preview: Al Qadsia and Dhofar meet at venue to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Professional League. That game was also an away game, at Al-Rustaq. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2300 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Al Qadsia form and stats
Last season, Al Qadsia's AFC Cup journey ended in the group stage.15 points is a decent return from 7 Premier League games here for Al Qadsia. The data says 4 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses. Al Qadsia has a nice streak going on as they have played 14 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Al Shabab defeat 291 days ago.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Al Qadsia, as their goalkeeper has completely shut out the opponents for 212 minutes in the Premier League.
A nice win for Al Qadsia last time playing, versus Yarmouk. That was also a home game and the match ended 5-0. In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Al Riffa.
As mentioned above, Al Qadsia "killed" Yarmouk in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Al Qadsia can score goals in their home matches. After 7 league matches they have found the net 16 times. From these home matches, Al Qadsia have conceded only 4 goals.
Dhofar form and stats
Dhofar was sent out of AFC Cup in the group stage last season.Dhofar have an excellent away record in the Professional League so far with 6-2-2 from 10 games.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Dhofar, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-3 versus Al-Rustaq. Ahead of that match was the Sultan Cup away draw versus Al-Nahda that ended 1-1.
Late heartbreak for Dhofar in the Al-Rustaq match, as the deciding 2-3 goal came deep into overtime.
Dhofar are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 15 times in 10 away games so far. The Dhofar defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (5 goals in 10 games).
