Matthias Jaissle, the head coach of Saudi Al-Ahli, has made his final preparations before clashing with the Qatari team Al-Sadd this evening, as part of the fourth round of the AFC Champions League at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in the Qatari capital, Doha.

The German coach is leaning towards deploying his attacking force represented by the trio Riyad Mahrez, Ivan Toney, and Firas Al-Breikan from the start, while the Brazilian Galeno, who recently returned from injury, will sit on the bench in preparation for a gradual participation depending on the course of the match.

The expected formation of Saudi Al-Ahli against Qatari Al-Sadd is as follows: Goalkeeper: Edouard Mendy

Defense: Ali Majrashi, Roger Ibanez, Merih Demiral, Matteo Dams

Midfield: Enzo Milot, Valentin Atangana, Franck Kessie

Attack: Riyad Mahrez, Ivan Toney, Firas Al-Breikan

The match will kick off at 6 PM Cairo time and will be broadcast on beIN Sports and Qatari Al-Kass channels, which cover the tournament's events extensively and live.

Al-Ahli enters the match occupying the fourth position in Group B with 7 points, while their opponent Al-Sadd faces tougher conditions as they are in the tenth position with only 2 points so far.

The Al-Ahli team recently drew against Al-Riyadh in the seventh round of the Saudi Professional League, with a score of 1-1, which they aim to overcome today by achieving an Asian victory that restores confidence to the fans and strengthens their position in the qualification race.

Mahrez and his teammates aspire to deliver a strong performance and achieve a positive result that reflects the team's readiness in their continental journey, especially with the competition intensifying in this crucial stage of the tournament.
