The road appears open to Al -Rayyan to reach the quarter -finals of the most expensive cups, after the lottery put him in the face of Lusail Fifth Second Division, which makes him the strongest candidate for victory tonight in the match that brings the two teams to the round of 16 for the precious championship.
Al -Rayyan hosts the Lusail team at Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Duhail at eight and a quarter, and all expectations are likely to resolve the important terrible in the original time and not reach the extra time in the event of a tie or penalty shootout if the tie continues between them tonight. Al -Rayyan qualified for the round of 16 by winning the fifth place in the Stars League, and Lusail qualified after he achieved the surprise in the preliminary round and defeated the fourth division league.
It is difficult to find a comparison between the two teams. Al -Rayyan is a team with a history and an ancient team that enjoys popularity and a tyrant, and he has achievements in all championships, and for a new training team achieved good results and seeks to be a brilliant future team, and he dreams that the talk of the expensive championship is to win over the terrible, which is undoubted The past is unexpected and paid dearly, the most recent of which was in front of Al-Sailiya season 2023, when he lost 1-2 in the round of 16, and before that he bid farewell to the precious championship in the quarter-finals after the loss against Al-Markhiya 0-1 season 2020. Regardless of surprises, Al Rayyan has no alternative to victory and continuing the journey and competing strongly for the title to compensate for the loss of the league and not qualify for the square Al -Dhahabi, and the exit from the round of 16 for the AFC Champions League for the elite, which is seeking to return to the next season by winning the dear title. As for Lusail, despite his difficult and arduous mission, he only has the attempt, and he only has adventure and not surrender until his name is written in letters of gold in the precious championship.
