16.09.2024, 19:00
The AFC Champions League is back again and Al-Ain and Al-Sadd will square off at the Hazza Bin Zayed for their opening game. Al-Ain started their domestic league on a good note as they are yet to lose a league game from the two games played this season. Al-Sadd is also third placed in the Qatar Stars League with two wins and two losses from the four games they’ve played. We believe both teams will find the net here. Please see the carefully prepared tips.
Al-Ain FC
Al-Ain is currently 5th in the UAE Pro League table with a win and a draw from two games they’ve played in the league this season. Al-Ain is a familiar contender in the AFC Champions League and they had a good run in the competition last season as they were knocked out by Al-Hilal in the semi-finals. They’d be hoping for a more favorable result this time around and it all starts on Monday.
Al-Sadd SC
The defending champions of Qatar have started yet another season in the Qatar Stars League and they have a current record of two wins and two losses from the 4 league games they’ve played so far this season. Al-Sadd competed in the AFC Champions League last season but sadly they couldn’t make it past the group-stage games. We envisage a better outcome for them this season and it all starts on Monday. Al-Sadd is currently 3rd in the league table with 2 wins and 2 losses from the 4 games played.
Head-To-Head Statistics
