Command Analysis
Al Ahli
Saudi ArabiaCurrent form
Al Ahly is not performing very successfully in the Saudi Arabian championship, occupying only sixth place, which is perceived as a failure given the resources of this team. However, the situation is starting to level out - in the last three rounds, the hosts have won dry victories over Al Raed (2:0), Al Feiha (1:0) and Al Wehda (1:0). The team has no problems in the Champions League - Matthias Jaissle team is winning victory after victory and is in first place in the table. In the last matches, they managed to beat Al Shorta (5:1) and Al Ain (2:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the squad before the next match of the Asian Champions League.
Interesting trends for betting

- The hosts have conceded only one goal in their last four matches.
Probable line-up: Mendy - Al-Khurai, Demiral, Ibanez, Yaslam - Alexander, Al Johani - Mahrez, Firmino, Veiga - Brican.
Esteghlal
Iran (Islamic Republic of)Current form
Esteghlal lost the Iranian championship title to Persepolis last season, finishing the season just one point behind. Now the team is only in 11th place, 10 points behind the leader. Perhaps the additional workload in the Champions League is having an effect, where the team is also struggling to achieve success. In the last rounds, the Iranian team lost to Al-Sadd (0:2), Al-Nasr (0:1) and Al-Hilal (0:3). Only on November 25 did they manage to avoid defeat in a match with Pakhtakor (0:0).

1.75Tip and bets
The hosts have been showing amazing results lately. The team has been performing well in the Champions League since the start of the season, but things have also started to improve in the Saudi Arabian Championship. Considering that the visitors, on the contrary, have hardly won lately, we believe that nothing will prevent the hosts from winning their sixth victory in a row in the continental competition.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Al Ahly for 1.85
Bet on total
The opponents have been almost never conceding lately, so we will probably see a focus on defense in the face-to-face match. We think that we shouldn't expect more than two goals scored in this match.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals at 1.93
Bet on corners
Al-Ahli is head and shoulders above its rival. If the hosts play at least 70 percent of their real capabilities, they will win, if not in all, then in many components.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Al Ahly for corners at 1.75
