For both sides, the moment of reckoning begins immediately as a ninety-minute bottleneck will be all it takes to name the emerging semifinalist. Al Sadd, whose morale is heightened from their recent placement in the Qatari Cup grande finale, will look to repeat their 2011 tournament conquest. This is as far as Kawasaki has gotten and while they play as strict underdogs, lovers of the game will be prejudiced to a Saudi-Saudi grande finale contest on account of the exit of the Korea-based side from the tournament.

Kawasaki Frontale came from a 0-1 deficit in the first leg round of 16 gruel against Shanghai Shenhua to clinch a 4-1 aggregate; earning their seat in the quarter-finals and ending their Chinese counterparts' tournament journey. Having rested major players in the recent league games, they have managed to stay neck above water in five games, keeping low profiles in a mix of stalemates.

Kawasaki plays a conservative 4-2-3-1, with a false nine holding the midfield extension with four free roamers. Their high defensive line also cuts off excess inclusiveness.
