The Gulf Samba are undefeated since the competition began, winning once and sharing the spoils twice. They wrapped up the group at the top of the log, picking up five points from a combined nine. On the opposing end. Saudi Arabia secured two wins and lost a game. Going by the quality of opposition they faced in the group stage, Oman have had a tougher run, and I feel they stand a better chance here. I think both teams will get a goal apiece here, as none of them have kept a clean sheet since the competition began.

Bahrain vs Kuwait
The Pearl Divers won twice and lost a game in a delicate group, picking up six points from a combined nine. They lost their last match in the group, but of course, two wins are enough to secure them a knockout round ticket. Conversely, Kuwait picked up five points from a possible nine, scoring four and conceding three.
Bahrain have been effective in front of goal in this tournament, and they have averaged a goal from two shots. At the same time, Kuwait have not really been at their best in this tournament, and I think Bahrain stand a better chance of advancing to the next round. Bahrain to qualify for the next round might be worth the risk here.

Ceramica vs Al Masry
The hosts are undefeated in five games in the competition and head here after a great win over National Bank of Egypt on the road. They are one of the best teams in the competition, and they’ll host the Al Masry team who have failed to win their last three games in the competition. Ceramica have dominated this competition fixture over the years, and they stand a better chance here. It's not going to come easy as the guests have been on a decent run before their recent defeat against Al Ahly in the league this campaign. We anticipate a strong start from Ceramica and we think they will win or draw and over 1.5 goals.
