Al Ahli's box threat
Al Ahli Saudi have scored 22 goals from inside the box, the most by any side this season and eight more than Machida Zelvia. Comparatively, no team has conceded fewer goals inside the box this season than Machida (6). Al Ahli Saudi have an ace in the pack though as Galeno has a habit of producing thunderbolts, as seen in the wins against Malaysia's Johor Darul Ta'zim and Vissel Kobe of Japan.

Array of attacking talent
Machida Zelvia have had 17 different players directly involved in their goals, the most by any side; Al Ahli Saudi, meanwhile, have had 11 different scorers, the joint most alongside Vissel Kobe.

Shoot on sight
Al Ahli Saudi have scored 19 goals from open play, the joint-most by any team alongside fellow Saudi Arabia side Al Ittihad Club. They have also scored seven goals from set-pieces, the joint second most by any team behind UAE's Shabab Al Ahli (9).

A tale of two halves
Machida Zelvia tend to find the net in the first half, with 14 of their 18 goals registered in the opening 45 minutes. Al Ahli, on the other hand, netted the same number in the second half.

Tight at the back 
Machida have the best defence in the competition, keeping seven clean sheets and conceding only seven goals. In fact, the J1 League side have not conceded a goal in 360 minutes. Goalkeeper Kosei Tani is a major reason for their defensive resilience, with the goalkeeper saving 34 of the 39 shots on target he has faced. They will, however, be tested as the 26 goals Al Ahli Saudi have scored this season is the second-highest in their AFC Champions League Elite history.

Woodwork a bane for Soma
Yuki Soma's tally could well be double the four he has scored if not for the woodwork. The forward has been denied four times by the frame, with only Shanghai Port FC’s Hulk (6 in 2019) having a higher tally in a single season since 2013.

Impact off the bench
Al Ahli Saudi's Saleh Abu Al Shamat has been directly involved in five goals as a substitute (3 goals, 2 assists), the most by any player coming off the bench this season. His three goals is the joint-most alongside Al Sadd SC's Rafa Mujica and Breno Cascardo of Shabab Al Ahli.
