Abu Dhabi United 3-1 Duhail

In the AFC West Asia Division, Abu Dhabi United is currently ranked fourth with a record of 2 games, 1 win, 1 draw and 4 points, showing a stable competitive state. As a powerful team in the United Arab Emirates with a history of 41 years, the team has not only won the UAE top league championship four times, but also has a deep accumulation in the AFC Champions League. In the 11 competitions before the restructuring, it reached the semi-finals in the 2005-06 season, setting the best AFC Champions League result in team history. The Abu Dhabi United team is worth 35.18 million euros, ranking 8th among all teams in the East and West Divisions of the AFC Champions League. The team's recent status is even more hot. Since the start of the new season on August 17, they have maintained an unbeaten record of 6 wins and 4 draws in 10 games (6 league games, 2 cup games, and 2 AFC Champions League games). They have scored 18 goals on both offense and defense and conceded only 7 goals!

In the AFC West Asia Division, although Duhail is temporarily ranked 9th with 2 games, 1 draw, 1 loss and 1 point, the record of 4 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses in 12 games in all competitions this season is slightly up and down. 17 goals conceded can be said to be a strong attack and a weak defense! The two teams have met officially twice in history. In the 2018 AFC Champions League, Duhail defeated Abu Dhabi United 3-2 at home and 1-0 away from home, taking advantage of past matches. The strength of this team, which was founded in 2009 and has only 16 years of history, cannot be underestimated. It has won the Qatar Top League championship 8 times and the AFC Champions League. During the 12 competitions before the restructuring, it reached the semi-finals in the 2021-22 season. From the perspective of hard power, Duhail has a local core team composed of 10 Qatar internationals and 5 members of the National Youth Team, which is capable of fighting.

In the 20th minute, Duhail took the lead in scoring, and Piatek received an assist from his teammates and scored;

In the 35th minute, Abu Dhabi United gradually took control of the rhythm, and Omar Khribin equalized the score for the team through a penalty kick!

Baghdad Police 1-4 Jeddah United

Baghdad Police’s performance in the Asian Elite Championship this season was sluggish, with 1 draw, 1 loss and 1 point in the first two rounds, and the team has played nearly 10 games across the season. There was only 1 win in this competition. Last season, they failed to qualify for promotion with 8 games, 1 win, 3 draws and 4 losses in the West Asia League. The defensive problems are particularly prominent. They conceded a goal due to a serious miss against Al-Saad, and conceded a goal due to a low-level mistake against Gharaffa. However, the team's state in the domestic arena is completely opposite. In the new season, they have won all 3 league games and maintained an unbeaten record of 2 wins and 1 draw at home in all competitions, showing strong local competitiveness and home field advantage!

Jeddah United has been in a competitive dilemma recently, with 2 losses and 1 draw in the past 3 games without a win. The offensive performance is particularly weak, scoring only 1 goal in 3 games. French star Benzema missed the penalty kick after returning and is currently undergoing rehabilitation treatment due to a right leg contusion. Bergwijn and Fakihi are also injured one after another. The team has just completed a coaching change, and Conceicao drew 1-1 with Feha in the first game as manager. In historical encounters, Jeddah United defeated Baghdad Police 2-1 in the Arab Champions League in August 2023 with Benzema's winner!

In the 5th minute, Baghdad Police teammate assisted Bassam Shakir to open the scoring;

In the 17th minute, Jeddah United player Mohammadou Doumbia assisted Moussa Diaby to equalize the score!

In the 29th minute, Jeddah United player Fabinho completed the lead!

In the 60th minute, Jeddah United player Moussa Diaby assisted Aouar and scored a goal!

The Iraqi team Baghdad Police faced the Saudi giants Jeddah United at home. Baghdad Police currently has only 1 point, while Jeddah United has lost two games in a row at the beginning. The two sides are inseparable. The Baghdad Police have only won one victory against the Saudi team in nine times in history. After the team lost 0-2 to Gharraf in the last round, they rely on their home court advantage to seek a breakthrough in this round. They have scored goals at home in the past three intercontinental competitions! Now that the game is over, Jeddah United have scored three points!

Jeddah National 4-0 Gharaffa Sports

In the Asia Elite West Asia standings, Jeddah National is temporarily second with 1 win, 1 draw and 4 points. In the recent 3 games, Saudi Arabia and Asia Elite achieved a solid record of 1 win and 2 draws. Due to the poor start of the team in the Saudi Arabian League, they only accumulated 9 points in the first 5 rounds, 6 points behind the leader Riyadh Victory. It is difficult to compete for the league championship. Therefore, there is a high probability that they will focus more energy on the Asian Elite League and are eager to win at home to lay the foundation for early qualifying. This season Toni has contributed 9 goals and 1 assist, Enzo Milo has 4 goals and 3 assists, and Mahrez has 2 goals and 5 assists. The performance of several major stars in this game is worth looking forward to!

Gharafa is currently ranked 6th in the Asia Elite Sesia District with 1 win, 1 loss and 3 points. The overall state is up and down. In the last Qatar Stars Cup, it lost 0-1 to Alcor. However, it performed well in the Qatar League. It ranked third with 13 points in the first 6 rounds, only 1 point behind the top spot.. The team's current important task is to strive for the top eight in the first stage of the Asian Elite Tournament to qualify for the knockout rounds. On the offensive end, it relies on the firepower of Joselu, who has contributed 5 goals. In past matches against Jeddah National, Gharaffa had an overall score of 2 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. However, if they play at Jeddah National's home court, the team will be at a disadvantage. Jeddah National has the advantage with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.
