Al Akhdoud

The team Al Akhdoud is in a good run of late even with them being in the 12th position. Their last match ended with a draw against Lokomotiv Moscow. Andrei Burca has been performing well for the club this season. Martin Sevela is unlikely to rotate the squad for the match as they are coming up against an in-form Al-Ahli.

Due to red card suspensions, Andrei Burca and Paulo Vitor will be missing the proceedings for the match against Al Akhdoud on Friday.

Their last match against Anderlecht ended with a draw. The former Manchester City man, Riyad Mahrez has been firing all cylinders for the club.

Al-Ahli’s Abdullah Otayf, the defensive midfielder will be unavailable due to a cruciate ligament tear. Besides, Merih Demiral will also miss the match due to an unknown injury.
