Al Qadsiah can press Al-Sadd back with two central finishers and delivery from both flanks. Al-Sadd can also play through the space behind Qadsiah's advanced wide players. Sevilla's early pressure should test Osasuna's first pass, while Osasuna have direct and restart routes into the box. Both matches hinge on the next reception after the first wave is stopped.
Weigl and Reijnders can keep Qadsiah's attacks moving toward Retegui and Quiñones, but their better recent opponents have kept the margins narrow. Afif and Giovani can receive from Camara and Claudinho, with Firmino linking the next run. Nández left Qadsiah's latest game injured and is reported out along with Nacho and Diabaté; Al-Sadd's Romagnoli did not travel, though Salman and Khoukhi already started together in the latest match. Al-Sadd's front line has a route into Qadsiah's changed defence even if Qadsiah hold more territory. That's why I'm siding with Al-Sadd to stay close.
Ure's press and Fofana's next carry have given Sevilla box entries, with wide delivery available behind them. Osasuna can reach Budimir directly or from Rubén García's delivery, then contest the loose ball after a cross or corner. Osasuna's travelling group includes those receivers after their substantial minutes against Racing; Sevilla have attacking returnees in the squad, while Sierra remains out. Sevilla's recent leads have been followed by quick opposing contact, and Osasuna have shown a way to turn that contact into a shot. I'm siding with an Osasuna goal alongside Sevilla's attacking supply.
