Al-Ahli to Face Al-Rayyan in the AFC Champions League Elite

Al-Ahli Saudi Club aims for its third consecutive victory when it faces Al-Rayyan of Qatar on Monday at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium in Al-Rayyan in the third round of the group stage (West region) of the 2024-2025 AFC Champions League Elite.
Al-Ahli enters the match with 6 points from two wins, placing the club second on goal difference just behind Al-Hilal.

They are looking for a win and a clean sheet, as they are the only team yet to concede a goal in the competition, according to SPA.

Al-Ahli strives for a perfect record after defeating Persepolis of Iran 1-0 in Jeddah and Al-Wasl of the UAE 2-0 away.
However, Al-Ahli will play without their Senegalese goalkeeper Edouard Mendy due to a recent injury. Abdulrahman Al-Sanbi, 23 years old, will step in as his replacement, having played in the last four matches.
