Al Wahda continued their dream run with a 2-1 away win against Uzbekistan's PC Nasaf three weeks ago and will head into the tie on a five-game winning streak in the competition against sides from Qatar.

Their last four meetings with Al Sadd, however, ended in draws but with Facundo Kruspzky and Omar Khribin in fine form, Al Wahda will feel victory is within reach.

Al Sadd will have Italian Roberto Mancini in the dugout, with the tactician having recently taken charge of the 2011 AFC Champions League winners.

While the Qatari side have found life difficult on the continental stage this season, they are unbeaten in their last 17 games against sides from UAE and will seek victory to kickstart their season.

Al Wahda FC (UAE) v Al Sadd SC (QAT)
Venue: Al Nahyan Stadium (Abu Dhabi)
Kick-off: Tuesday, 20:00 (UTC+4)
