Al Ahli Doha's recent form has been positive, maintaining a good competitive rhythm. Following a 1-0 away win against Shumar in the Qatar Stars Cup, they have secured two consecutive victories across all competitions. Over a longer period, the team boasts a record of 5 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses in their last 10 official matches. Notably, they remain unbeaten in the AFC Champions League 2, with 1 win and 4 draws in 5 matches, demonstrating strong adaptability to the competition. FK Andijon's recent performance has been moderate. They are unbeaten in their last 3 official matches, with 2 wins and 1 draw, including a 1-1 draw against Akadag in the AFC Champions League 2 at home, showing some resilience. However, the team faces two significant challenges: they have been inactive, without an official match since the end of November, raising concerns about their competitive condition. The two teams have developed a unique 'draw curse', with their last 3 official encounters ending in draws: a 0-0 draw in October 2025, a 1-1 draw in December 2025, and a 0-0 draw in the first leg of this season's AFC Champions League 2 group stage. In the first leg, Al Ahli Doha controlled 59% of the possession and had 12-4 shots, yet failed to break through FK Andijon's dense defense, highlighting their insufficient offensive efficiency. In the 2023 AFC Champions League 2 qualifying round, Al Ahli Doha defeated FK Andijon 3-1, holding a historical advantage, but significant changes in both teams' lineups and the recent trend of draws create a level playing field psychologically, adding suspense to this match.
