East Bengal II host Al Hussein in the AFC Cup. Both clubs have had a mixed but goal-heavy spell of form heading into this one.
The two sides already crossed paths this season, drawing 2-2 back in September, though that meeting came at Al Hussein's ground rather than here. It leaves plenty of open questions about how this reverse fixture might unfold.

Comparative Team Statistics: East Bengal II vs Al Hussein

Head To Head
These two have met once this season, in the AFC Champions League Two back in September, sharing the points in a 2-2 draw. That game was played at Al Hussein's home ground, so this one offers a different venue and a different stage of the calendar.

Group Standings
The only table data available shows Al Hussein sitting second with four points from two games, a win and a draw, scoring five and conceding two. There's no wider group context here, so it's hard to say exactly how that compares to East Bengal II's own standing.

Team News
Al Hussein's Pedro Henrique has picked up three yellow cards in his last six appearances, which is worth keeping an eye on given how close that puts him to a suspension. There's nothing here to suggest he'll definitely miss out, though.

What To Expect
Looking at both teams' recent matches, goals have flowed pretty freely in games involving either side. East Bengal II have put five or seven past opponents in recent weeks, while Al Hussein have both scored heavily and shipped five themselves this autumn.
With both sides showing they can concede in bunches, this doesn't look like a fixture where either is likely to shut up shop.
