Al Hussein vs East Bengal IIPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Al Hussein come into the opening group game after a month of mixed results. Their most recent outing was a heavy one, a 0-5 at home to Al Jazeera on 5 September in the league; before that came a 1-2 away at Al Faisaly in the Super Cup, further back a 5-0 at Al Ramtha in the same competition and a 0-3 at Pakhtakor in the AFC Champions League Elite. Deeper still, back in May, a 3-0 again at Al Ramtha and a 3-1 over Al Wihdat in the cup. East Bengal II have played very little of late: their last match was a 4-1 home win over Al Arabi on 12 August in the AFC Champions League Two. Before that you go back to April and May, with a 2-1 at Inter Kashi, a 1-1 at ATK Mohun Bagan, a goalless home draw with Minerva Punjab, a 2-1 at Mumbai City and a 3-0 over Odisha, all in the Indian Super League. There is no record of a previous meeting between the two. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
