Al-Sadd vs Al Ahli Doha Prediction: Defending champion struggle continues

Al Sadd will face Al Ahli Doha at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium on Wednesday. Al Sadd will hope to get their first league win when they play at home against Doha who has been very good this season after winning one and getting a draw against Al Duhail last week. 

After a tie against Umm Salal (1-1) in the Stars League, Al-Sadd will do everything to get their first win. Baghdad Bounedjah was the only Al-Sadd player to score (in the 63rd minute in their last match. Al-Sadd has had trouble keeping a clean sheet in recent games, but they have also found ways to score goals. After a first league loss to Al Markhiya, the team’s poor performance could only earn them a 1 point. However, we expect them to be confident of getting a win this time, as they can not afford to lose their chance of defending the Stars League again.

5th-placed Doha will be coming into this game after a draw against Duhail in what could have been a win for them. When they play against Sadd, they hope to establish their tactics and take advantage of the defending champions' weaknesses. Although, with Al-Sadd expected to recover from their poor performances, the possibility of the visiting team getting a win will be difficult. However, we hope to see a great performance from them.

The last ten times these two teams have met, Al-Sadd SC has won every time they've played at home. Twenty-six matches have occurred between the two teams; Al-Sadd SC has won 19, three draws, and Al Ahli Doha SC has won 4. Al-Sadd SC leads 66-31 in goals. Al-Sadd SC won the most recent match.
