Command Analysis

Al-Sadd

Current form
Al Sadd is the current champion of Qatar, but the team has not yet played at full strength. After six rounds in the new season, they can only occupy the third line of the rating, lagging behind the leader by as much as six points. The attack, as always, is at the highest level, because they managed to score in nine matches in a row, and, of course, the footballers do not intend to stop there.
Last season of the Asian Champions League, Al Sadd failed to advance from the group. In the upcoming tournament, the goal is to do so, and in the first two rounds they managed to show character. First, there was a draw with Al Ain (1:1), and then they managed to win against Tehran Esteghlal (2:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured players on the team.
Interesting trends for betting
Al Sadd have won their last three home matches
The hosts have scored in eight consecutive matches in front of local fans
Estimated line-up : Al-Shib - Otavio, Terek, Suhail, Al-Yazari - Meshal, Wwad - Afif, Cristo, Giovani - Mujica.

Persepolis

Current form
Persepolis is the current champion of Iran, and at the beginning of the new season it confirms its title, fighting for the leadership. At the moment, the team is in second place in the ranking, two points behind the leader Sepahan, but the guests of the upcoming match have played one match less, so in case of victory the team will lead the tournament table alone.
As usual, Juan Carlos Garrido protégés are showing great defensive play, as they have conceded only two goals in all the matches they have played in the national championship, while they have managed to score four times more. In the Champions League, things are not going as they would like. After two rounds, they have managed to score only one point. With such statistics, it is clearly not possible to fight for a place in the playoffs.
Disqualifications and injuries
Urunov and Kaanani will not appear on the field due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
Persepolis have scored in four games in a row
Persepolis have lost only one of their last nine away games in regulation time
Approximate composition : Genduz - Mohamadi, Joaou, Gvelesiani, Faraji - Salmani, Rigi, Rafii, Ahmadzadeh - Alipour, Amiri.

1.74Tip and bets
Both teams are experiencing a decline in results, but Al-Sadd plays consistently at home and constantly fights for victory. We believe that the upcoming match will not be an exception, and considering that the opponent game ambitions are not at a high level, and Persepolis sometimes fails hard on the road, it seems that the Qatari team will be able to dominate the match and achieve another victory with the support of the local crowd.
Our prediction is Al Sadd victory with odds of 2.07
Bet on total
The teams always play their head-to-head matches cautiously. This is confirmed by the fact that in the last six head-to-head matches, no more than two goals were scored between the two teams. Considering that the teams are not in their best form at the moment, it seems that the tendency not to score many goals will continue.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.88
Bet on corners
Judging by our description, we can conclude that the game is unlikely to be sharp in terms of scoring chances. This means that there is a high probability that there will not be many corner flag passes recorded.
Our prediction is total under 8.5 corners with odds of 1.74
