If the arrivals hall at Doha International Airport is any gauge, expect Liverpool to be outnumbered at the FIFA Club World Cup this week.
As passengers on the seven-hour flight from Manchester began to make their way through passport control on Monday evening, among them were many Reds supporters, given away by the odd Liver bird here and a Scouse accent there.
But within moments, the floor became engulfed by a sea of red and black.
A flight had arrived from Brazil shortly afterwards, almost exclusively containing Flamengo fans sporting either their change colours of white and black or more predominantly, their famed home shirts.
Their team are first up on Tuesday at the 40,000-capacity Khalifa International Stadium when they take on Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia for a place in Saturday's final.
The pitch will already have hosted earlier in the day the fifth-place play-off between Al-Sadd and Esperance de Tunis.
And with the Education City Stadium deemed not ready just nine days ago, the Khalifa will also see Liverpool take on Monterrey of Mexico City on Wednesday in their semi-final.
Not ideal. But at least the expected rain eased off on Monday with a brighter forecast expected for the remainder of the week.
Liverpool arrived in Qatar on Sunday evening and held an open training session at the Qatar University on late Monday afternoon.
Virgil van Dijk wasn't present – an injury not to blame, it appears – while fellow Dutchman Gini Wijnaldum sat out the session too as he recovers from his muscle injury but the 18 other players in the travelling party were put through their paces.
Jurgen Klopp will on Tuesday be joined by James Milner for the press conference looking ahead to the semi-final, which will take place at 2pm local time (11am UK time).
Later in the evening, the Liverpool boss and his coaching staff intend to watch Flamengo's semi-final before returning to the team hotel in Doha to watch the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Aston Villa, where what is likely to be the youngest Reds side in history will be helmed by under-23s boss Neil Critchley.
“We start with watching the other semi-final live in the stadium, I think it should be possible,” says Klopp.
“And then we will leave there a bit earlier and sit here in front of the television and watch that game.
“It will be absolutely exciting. I'm really delighted for the boys.”
The real prize, though, is here in Qatar. The Liverpool fans were starting to make themselves heard along the Corniche waterfront in Doha as Monday drifted into evening, the temperature still in the low 20s.
The countdown to the Reds potentially adding the world crown to their European accolade has begun.
