Key Players
- Mario Silva’s men set up in a compact 4-2-3-1 formation that allows them to play with a deep block when out of possession, while they press selectively and look to punish the opposition on the counter or from set pieces when they are in possession.
- Al-Khaleej, who have been under the guidance of Georgios Donis since July 13th 2024, have been more of a balanced, transition-based team, favouring the 4-2-3-1 formation and its more attacking variants, which encourages wide play and verticality.
