Al-Faisaly host Al Sadd at the Amman International Stadium in Amman on Monday for matchday four of the 2023-24 AFC Champions League, looking to get a point on the board.
With three defeats from three games in the competition so far, Al-Faisaly are languishing at the bottom of Group B without a point and staring at a first-round exit.
In their opening game, the Jordanian team were beaten 1-0 at the death by Uzbekistan's Nasaf, followed by an identical loss to UAE's Sharjah. On matchday three, the Blue Eagles were battered 6-0 by Al Sadd, led by a sensational hat-trick from Baghdad Bounedjah.
However, since that loss, Ahmad Hayel's side have won both their league clashes, beating Al Ahli 1-0 and then a 4-0 drubbing of Al-Jalil as Al-Faisaly have gathered some momentum under their belt.
On the other hand, Al Sadd are in third position in their Champions League group with four points, two worse off than Nasaf and three behind leaders, Sharjah.
Their progression hopes are currently in danger but not fully over yet. A win here can boost the Qatari side's position to reach the knockout stages.
