Al Quwa Al Jawiya host Al Ain in the AFC Champions League Elite, with the home side having just won 3-0 in the league last time out, while the visitors drew 2-2 in the domestic cup and come in without a win in three straight. The hosts have played 9 matches in their own league, winning 2, drawing 5 and losing 2, scoring 14 and conceding 12. They are a team that drops points often because they draw more than they win. Their attack has something but is not sharp enough to close out games. As for Al Ain, they are still unbeaten in their own league from 5 matches, winning 4 and drawing 1, scoring 12 and conceding 5. Their attack flows better and they clearly have quality in the final third. Al Ain are likely to have more of the ball and push the game high, while if Al Quwa Al Jawiya set up in a block and wait for counter-attacking moments, the game will become one where the hosts must defend tightly and hope for a single moment. If the visitors score first, the hosts will be forced to open up and fight, which is when the game could slip away from them. But if the hosts can hold the score until the closing stages, the game will become even more of a grind and could end with a narrow margin.
