A continental cup game like the AFC Champions League Elite brings Al-Qadsiah up against Al Sadd in clearly contrasting form. Al-Qadsiah have just lost 2-3 in their league's latest match, but before that they picked up wins in almost every game. Meanwhile, Al Sadd have just thrashed their opponents 4-0 in the league after losing several matches in a row before that. In their own league, Al-Qadsiah have won 8 of 11 matches, scoring 26 goals and conceding only 12. They control possession well and create chances consistently. As for Al Sadd, although they score about as many in their own league, their defence is clearly leaky; against teams that press continuously, they tend to concede easily. So this game is likely to see Al-Qadsiah dominate and push forward. According to the expected line-up, Al-Qadsiah are likely to use a 3-5-2 with Tijjani Reijnders and Julian Weigl controlling the tempo in midfield, and Mateo Retegui as the main striker to finish chances. If Al-Qadsiah score first, the game should open up more and more, because Al Sadd will have to push up and trade blows, and that is when the home side can seize the opportunity to add to their tally.
