Al Rayyan have made eight appearances in the competi- tion so far but are yet to make it beyond the group stage. They suffered a similiar fate in 2018 despite staying unbeaten and being in a strong position after their first four games. Saipa, meanwhile, have only once qualified for the Continental competition back in 2008 when they reached the quarter-finals before los- ing to a Bunyodkor side that featured Brazilian FIFA World Cup winner Rivaldo. Speaking at the pre-match press conference on Monday, Bulent said, “We will present a football game worthy of the club as we are ready to con- front Iran’s Saipa and ad- vance to the group stage. “Al Rayyan is a big club and has experience in the Asian Champions League.
