Preview - Group E: Al Wehdat (JOR) v Al Sadd SC (QAT)

Buraidah: Head coach Javi Gracia will be looking at squad depth to make a difference for his Al Sadd side as they take on Jordan’s Al Wehdat in Matchday Four of the AFC Champions League™ 2021 Group E on Tuesday.

The Qatar champions had bounced back from a slow start to the campaign that saw them collect one point from their first two games, to bag a 5-2 victory over Al Wehdat in the previous match, having been 2-1 down at the halftime break.

Santi Cazorla, Andrew Ayew and substitutes Rodrigo Tabata and Mohammed Waad found the back of the net in a ruthless second-half display for the Qatari side, and coach Gracia expects more of the same in the upcoming games if Al Sadd are to reach the knockout stage for the fourth time in the past five years.
