The 2019 FIFA Club World Cup gets underway without a great deal of fuss at this stage. The interest will be boosted when Liverpool, Moneterry and Flamengo make their appearances. This match is a first round fixture between Al Sadd from the hosts Qatar and Hienghene Sport from New Caledonia. No surprise in the lack of interest outside of Qatar and New Caledonia for this opening game. The winners of this tie take on Mexican side Monterrey in the second round.

Al Sadd qualified for this tournament by winning the Qatar Stars League in the 2018-19 season. This time around isn't going so well and they are fourth in the table. They come into this game with two wins in their last five matches. The most recent match saw them defeat Al Rayyan 6-0 away from home, a good result as their opponents are currently second in the league. Hienghene Sport won the 2019 OFC League to secure their place in this event.  They did so by beating teams such as Toti City Malampa Revivors, Ba (fancy shouting that a football match without feeling sheepish) and Magenta in the final. They look a bit out of their depth here and the tip is for Al Sadd to win but without both teams scoring.
