There is no head-to-head history to lean on for this AFC Champions League Two fixture. The two teams come from different leagues and different countries, and their opening matches in this competition ended in contrasting scorelines. Al Kuwait lost 2-3, while Al Khalidiyah drew 0-0. Al Kuwait have just thrashed their league opponents 7-1, after previously stringing together 1-0 wins in two straight matches, but there are still cracks in their defence, especially late in games where they concede more often than at other times. Al Khalidiyah, meanwhile, are unbeaten in 5 straight matches, but have failed to score in two of their last three, and most recently finished with a 2-2 draw in the league. The pattern of play should see the hosts with slightly more possession based on their average over the last 10 matches, but Al Khalidiyah do not simply sit deep. The hosts' first halves often feature goals, and the second half should open up into more of an exchange than the early stages.
