AFC Champions League Elite
Al Ahli will head into the tie in good form and still very much in the running for the Saudi Pro League title while Al Duhail are enduring a tough season and look set to finish in the bottom half of the Qatar Stars League.
Defending champions Al Ahli can be expected to start on the front foot after impressing in the League Stage, where they finished second behind Saudi Pro League rivals Al Hilal SFC.
Al Ahli, however, will be mindful of the fact that Al Duhail held them to a 2-2 draw when they met in the League Stage. In fact, the last three showdowns between the sides have ended in stalemates.
