LiontipsEsteghlal Tehran - Al-Nasr: betting tip and bets for the Asian Champions League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Until recently, it was unclear whether the Tehran Esteghlal would qualify for the AFC Champions League playoffs. Only the victory in the last round over Al-Rayyan allowed the team to get into the elimination matches. Any other result would have left the club out of the tournament. The opponents were a powerful Arab club led by Cristiano Ronaldo. Naturally, the Iranian team is the underdog in this pair, but Al-Nasr is not always as formidable as it seems at first glance, so who knows, maybe the hosts will be able to create intrigue in this pair.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the squad on the eve of the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Esteghlal has lost only one of the last nine matches at home.
- In three of the last five matches, the hosts did not even concede
Approximate composition: Hosseini - Jalali, Salimi, Cheshmi, Kojo, Rezaian - Ahmadi, Rezavand, Ndong, Khardani, Khardani - Azadi.
Current form
Al-Nasr has recently started to lose a lot in the game plan. In the last three matches in different tournaments, Stefano Pioli's team won only once, with two defeats and one draw. In their last match, the team lost to Al-Oruba on the road in the national championship, with a winning margin of more than nine. With such a game in Iran, it will be difficult to do anything and create a good foundation for yourself before the second leg.
It is unlikely that they will be able to compete for gold medals in the Saudi Arabian championship, so we need to do everything we can to win the Asian Champions League. To do this, you need to get in the shape that the club was in for the first six weeks of 2025.
Disqualifications and injuries
Otavio will not be on the field due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- Al-Nasr has failed to score on the road in only one of the last ten meetings.
- The visitors have not conceded in four of the last seven matches.
Approximate composition: Bento — Al Ghannam, Al Lajami, Laporte, Al Najdi — Angelo, Al Khaibari, Brozovic, Mane— Durand, Ronaldo.

Esteghlal scored after the break in three of their last four meetings.
1.80Tip and bets
Al-Nasr is not perfect in defensive actions. The visitors have conceded in seven of the last eight away matches. Esteghlal scores on his own field on a regular basis, but he also misses quite often. Given the unintelligible form of the guests of the upcoming meeting, we conclude that there will be no zeros on the scoreboard after the final whistle in the first match of the 1/8 finals of the AFC Champions League.
Our betting tip is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.77
Betting on the outcome
For some reason, the bookmakers firmly believe that Al-Nasr will win this match confidently. Looking at the latest results of the Saudi club, we come to the conclusion that there will be no confident away victory in the performance of the guests in this match. Moreover, the Iranian team lost on its own field with a difference of more than one goal in just one of the last 14 meetings.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (+1.5) on Esteghlal with a coefficient of 1.60
Betting on corners
Both teams do not close in their penalty area, so it is logical to bet that two will be able to arrange a decent number of serves from the corner flag.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 8.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.68
