Al-Kahraba

Under the guidance of Luay Salah, the team managed to secure a slender victory and approaches the return leg in excellent spirits. In the Iraqi Super League, Al-Kahraba won their last match, defeating Zahko 2-0 away from home. This victory marked their second win in the last three rounds of the championship and significantly improved their league position. Currently, Al-Kahraba sits in 11th place in the league table, but they have two games in hand. Regarding their home statistics, the Iraqi club has remained undefeated in six home games in the Super League, albeit securing victory only once.

Al-Ahed

Al-Ahed performed poorly in the first leg of the AFC Cup playoff clash and rightfully lost to their opponent. Now, they must seek redemption away from home, but is this within the capabilities of Marmar Bassem's team? In their last match in the Lebanese Premier League, Al-Ahed confidently defeated Bourj 3-0. Moreover, the Lebanese side hasn't faced worthy opponents at home. They last suffered a defeat in the Premier League in mid-August 2023 and currently occupy the top spot in the league table. In 13 matches, Marmar Bassem's charges have secured 10 victories, suffering only one loss.
