Al Shorta vs Al Ain: Asian Champions League match forecast
Al Shorta and Al Ain will play in the final round of the Asian Champions League group stage. The rivals occupy the last places in the Western standings and will no longer be able to catch on to the playoffs. Which team will be able to slam the door loudly on February 17th? The answer is in our forecast.

Command Analysis

Al Shorta

Current form
After three consecutive Iraqi Stars League titles, Al-Shorts' next championship was in doubt. At the moment, Zakho occupies the first place in the table, and the reigning champion is one point behind, but has a match in reserve. We will have to play against fourth-place Duhok, and it is for this match that the hosts will probably throw all their strength, because everything is already clear in the Champions League. The team occupies the penultimate place among the Western clubs and is three points behind Esteghlal Tehran. With a goal difference of -12, it is obvious that it will be impossible to reach the playoff zone, given that there is only one match left. The hosts have never won the Champions League so far, but they have managed to draw three times.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the squad on the eve of the last game of the group stage.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has defended to zero in the last two matches
- The hosts have played the last 13 matches without defeats.
Approximate composition: Karim - Yahya Alwan, Hashim, Muddan, Hudair-Al-Mawes, Youssef, Mumuni, Yassem, Ali-Meme

Al-Ain

Current form
Few people expected such a failure from Al Ain in the Champions League. The team from the UAE is the current winner of the tournament, but performed extremely poorly in the new draw, scoring only two points in seven matches. The guests avoided defeats only in games with Al-Sadd (1:1) and Pakhtakor (1:1). The reigning champion occupies the last place in the Western standings and is four points behind the eighth place, not even having the theoretical opportunity to compete for the playoff zone. In the last round, Vladimir Ivich's team lost to Qatar's Al-Rayyan (1:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
The guests have no problems with the line-up at the moment.
Interesting betting trends

1.70Tip and bets
After the change of coach, Al Ain managed to play much better and recently won two consecutive victories in the UAE championship. Although the team has lost its chances of reaching the playoffs, the players clearly want to win at least one victory in the competition and move away from last place. The reigning champion outperforms his opponent in the class and is sure to win in the last round.
Our forecast is that Al-Ain will win in 2.25

Our forecast is that both will score in 1.72
Betting on corners
Based on all of the above, it is clear that we are waiting for attacking football, in which a lot of serves from the corner flag will be issued.
