He has been great in the Qatar Stars League. Afif will also look to step up for his side so that he can lead to a win over difficult opponents.

Ivan Toney (Al Ahli)

He has struck four goals in six ACL matches this season and will be looking to continue his scoring run here. Toney can lead Al Ahli to grab those three points with his ability to cause problems for the opponent’s defence.
