Persepolis Out to End Barren Run: AFC
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – It will be a meeting between familiar foes when Persepolis travels to face Al Sadd on Monday in Group B of the 2024-25 AFC Champions League Elite, with the Iran side desperate to kick start its campaign.
With just a point to show after two matches and on a run of five consecutive games without a victory on the continental stage, Al Sadd could well be the opposition it needs - having defeated the Qatari side in four of their previous seven meetings.
Al Sadd, however, will also be relishing its chances after a fast start which sees the team on four points as the AFC Champions League 2011 winner eye a knockout stage spot for the first time in four editions, the-afc.com reported.
The match will be held at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in Doha city, Qatar.
