In the upcoming match, we would not underestimate the guests. The team from Iraq has already managed to take points from the star-studded Al-Nasr in the Asian Champions League and, in fact, for the entire season, taking into account all the tournaments, allowed itself only one misfire in the confrontation with Al-Hilal. In addition, Al-Ahli has been performing with decent fluctuations throughout the season, and it is not always possible to easily open up the opponents' dense defense. We think that Al-Shorta will avoid a major defeat today.
