Monterrey will face Al Sadd in one of the second round matches at the FIFA Club World Cup this Saturday, with the two sides seeking a place at the final stages. Al Sadd are playing here by virtue of Qatar being the host nation and after back to back wins, they will feel motivated for this clash. Monterrey are the CONCACAF Champions League winners and go to the game on a fine run; they are unbeaten in their last 13 matches. They have four wins in the last five matches and go to this game with four clean sheets in the last 10 matches. They have scored in each of the last 14 matches and in seven of the last 10 they have scored two or more goals. This is their fourth appearance at the Club World Cup and will be looking to do better than in the previous three. They took part in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 editions, winning four of seven matches. They head to this clash unbeaten in seven away matches and have scored two goals or more in five of the seven. They have six wins in the seven away matches but managed just two clean sheets.

Al Sadd on the other hand, have three wins in their last five matches. They advanced courtesy of a labored win over New Caledonian side Hienghene Sport, needing to go through extra time before eventually winning 3-1. They will definitely find this outing harder. Al Sadd have five wins in their last 12 matches, and have lost six in the process. Of all Al Sadd’s strength’s defence is not among them; the team has two clean sheets in the last 21 matches. They have conceded two or more goals in six of the last 10 matches and each of their last 18 matches have produced over 2.5 goals. All Sadd have three wins in their last five home matches but have no clean sheet in the last 11 home matches. They have scored two or more goals in four of the last five home matches. This is their second ever appearance at the Club World Cup; they were eliminated at the first hurdle in 2011, after losing 4-0 to Barcelona.
