Al Hussein have been living a dream over the past few months, having lifted their first ever Jordanian Pro League title in 2023/24 and well on course to defend it this season.

 

The title triumph took them back to the continental stage for the first time in 19 years and they have carried their form to the continental stage, advancing to the Round of 16 as the Group D runners-up behind Shabab Al Ahli of the UAE.

The Jordanian side, however, can expect to be tested by a Sharjah team who are challenging for the UAE Pro League title after finishing a disappointing fourth in 2023/24.

 

They topped Group C with 13 points and will be banking on their superior experience on the continental stage to end Al Hussein's dream.

Venue: Amman International Stadium (Amman)

Kick-off: Tuesday, 19:00 (UTC+3)
