In the first-ever third place match of the tournament to be contested by two teams in the same confederation, the Japanese and Asian champions will both look for a positive result.Kashiwa Reysol may have lost against Santos, but they will still be playing hard for the honour of a third place finish on Sunday afternoon. The team is rested and at full strength, and manager Nelsinho has stated to the press that he intends to return to Kashiwa victorious.There are no injuries to report, but there is a chance that veteran Hideaki Kitajima could see a start after an impressive performance off the bench against Santos on Wednesday night.Al Sadd, for their part, will probably be much more involved in this match than they were against Barcelona on Thursday. After being held to just 28% possession and two shots to Barcelona's 19, the side coached by Jorge Fossati will probably be able to put on a better show against the Reysol defence.Keita and Niang in particular will give Reysol's back line trouble, but much like in the Asian Champions League final Al Sadd's best chance will be to survive until penalty kicks.
