Al Gharafa - Al Wasl

It should be an interesting and beautiful game. Both Gharafa and Wasl attacking teams struggle with defensive functions. Wasl has had a hard time revealing their attacking potential in the AFC Champions League, mainly due to past opponents who made the game quite difficult. However, this time it should be easier and the visitors will have space for their attacks because Gharafa will not prioritize defense at home, as they need three points to secure a spot in the new format that includes three difficult away games afterwards. That's why it's important for them to win everything at home, and Gharafa usually tries to achieve that through their attacking style. We saw this in their previous AFC CL game where they defeated another UAE club and CL champion Al-Ain 4-2. Both teams have maintained their attacking form through the international break, with Wasl winning their league matches 3-1 and 3-1. Therefore, I expect at least 3 goals in this game.
