Out of a mainly available group, there is just a single fitness problem for the Al-Sadd gaffer Xavi Hernández to contend with. Saud Ibrahim Al-Nasr (Corona virus) won’t be playing here.

🔮 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Al-Arabi have the firepower to find the net against this Al-Sadd outfit, however a single goal probably won’t prevent defeat.

Our selection here is for a close game with a 1-2 advantage for Al-Sadd when the full-time whistle blows. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
