AFC Cup Preview: Al Faisaly v Kitchee

The Jordanian club - who won this title in both 2005 and 2006 - head into the clash holding a narrow 2-1 advantage after winning the first leg in Hong Kong last week, despite being reduced to 10 men.

Tulio Souza  and Ra'ed Fraeh scored in each half to give Ali Kumekh's side the victory, although the win was soured when defender Mohammad Khamees was sent off.

They have been granted the maximum preparation time for the match after their league opener against Al Wihdat on Wednesday was postponed due to Al Faisaly's involvement in the AFC Cup, although they will need to be at their best to progress.
