ACLE - Preview: Al Qadsiah Club (KSA) v Al Sadd SC (QAT)

Dammam: Al Qadsiah Club will fancy their chances of not just staying unbeaten but taking maximum points when they face Al Sadd SC in the AFC Champions League Elite 2026/2027™ on Monday.

Avoiding a loss will make Al Qadsiah just the third team from Saudi Arabia to stay unbeaten in their opening three matches.

Victory, however, will be their target and having started the season strongly, Al Qadsiah will be determined to not slip up at home.

Two defeats on the trot have left Al Sadd's Round of 16 hopes in jeopardy and the 2011 AFC Champions League™ winners need to find their form on Monday.

While they will be meeting Al Qadsiah for the first time, Al Sadd are on a six-match winless run in the competition against teams from Saudi Arabia (D1 L5), conceding multiple goals in each of those games (17 in total).
