The match will kick off at 4 pm at the Bangabandhu National Stadium.

Nejmeh became the first team to qualify for the quarterfinals with three successive wins, pushing Brothers and Nisa FC of Turkmenis-tan out of the race.

Although the game has only academic interest, both sides will be keen to achieve certain goals -- Nejmeh want to keep their hundred per cent winning record while Brothers will look forward to a second-place finish and stay unbeaten at home.

Brothers, who drew with Nisa in both legs, lost 4-1 in the trip to Lebanon but visiting coach Fadiahmad Al Yamani thinks that result does not reflect Brothers' real strength.

"We are not taking them lightly because they played well in Beirut. Conceding two early goals perhaps affected their morale," said Yamani at a press conference at the Bangabandhu Stadium yesterday.

"Although we have qualified for the next stage, we are going to play for a win because it will help us prepare for two important league matches ahead," said Yamani who recently took over from German coach Otto Pfister.

Owned by the Lebanese President, Nejmeh are four points away from retaining their league title. They have also left four national booters behind and the coach informed that they were given rest.

"They have played 14 matches inside 45 days and needed rest. We still have five internationals in the side."

Brothers Union coach Wajed Gazi, who has helped the Oranges reach the finals of both the local tournaments with success in the Federation Cup, said his side will warm-up for the upcoming Premier League with a decent performance.

"We want to give a creditable home performance against a very good side. They don't have a few national players but still, they are a capable outfit. We have drawn one match here and we will try to utilise home advantages," the veteran coach added.

Brothers, who drew their previous match with Nisa away at Asghabad, will be strengthened by the return of Russian striker Victor Edwards and Moroccan midfielder Hicham Inani, who missed the Turkmenistan trip.

Without any injury problem, the Gopibagh outfit have named a full strength 12-man probable squad.
