NextGOAL tip: Al Sadd +1.5 · 2 stars
AFC Champions League Elite tonight, Al Sadd host Al Ahli, two teams from different leagues who meet so often they know each other well, especially the most recent match when Al Ahli came away with a 2-1 win that lingers in the hosts' memory. Al Sadd return home after a 4-1 league win, and before that a 1-1 cup draw. Their attack can still be trusted, but the defence has had lapses, especially late in games where they concede 28% of all their goals. Meanwhile Al Ahli had won 4 of their last 5 before a heavy 1-6 league defeat in their most recent match. Their attack is still dangerous but the back line is starting to show cracks. If Al Sadd score first, they will likely play with confidence and push high, which will force Al Ahli to open up and trade chances, and the game is likely to finish with more than one goal.
