Al-Rayan - Al-Ahly: Asian Champions League match betting tip
Qatar's Al-Rayan and Saudi Arabia's Al-Ahly will play in the 1/8 finals of the Asian Champions League. The hosts finished only in seventh place in the Western Group, barely getting into the playoffs, and the guests took second place, losing only in additional indicators to their compatriots from Al-Hilal. Which of the opponents will win the first match of the confrontation? The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Al-Rayyan
QatarCurrent form
Al-Rayyan is not having the most successful season in its history. This applies not only to the Champions League, but also to the domestic championship, where the hosts occupy only fifth place. The current Stars League silver medalist is already ten points behind the top three, so it will be difficult to compete for medals. In the Champions League, the team still made it to the playoffs, beating Pakhtakor, Persepolis, as well as another Qatari club, Al-Gharafa, by one point. In the last round, Arthur Jorge's team lost to the Iranian Esteghlal (0:2), but retained their place in the top eight. After that, the hosts managed to beat Al-Wakrah (4-0) and Al-Arabi (2-1) in the domestic championship.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the squad on the eve of the first match in the playoffs.
Interesting betting trends
- None of the last five matches of the hosts ended in a draw.
- The team has won only one of the last 12 home matches.
Approximate composition: Beldi - Saleh, Garcia, Amaro, Naji - Hatim, De Sart - Surag, Roger Guedes, Trezeguet - Mansour
Al Ahli
Saudi ArabiaCurrent form
Al-Ahly has a very powerful squad, but, like today's opponent, it occupies only the fifth place in its league. However, there is a high density at the top of the table, so the chances of finishing in the top three are quite high - the third Al-Qadisiya is only three points ahead of the guests. In the Champions League, Matthias Jaissle's team were among the strongest teams and lost first place only to the reigning champion of Saudi Arabia, Al-Hilal, and only in terms of additional indicators. In the last round of the domestic championship, the team from Jeddah, by the way, managed to win an away victory over Al-Hilal with a score of 3:2.
Disqualifications and injuries
The guests have no problems with the squad on the eve of the start of the playoffs.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has won the last four matches
- The visitors have not scored less than two goals per game for ten consecutive matches.
Approximate line-up: Mendy - Mirashi, Demiral, Ibanez, Yaslam -Kessier, Al-Yohani - Mahrez, Veiga, Galeno - Tawny

2.22Tip and bets
It is worth noting an extremely unpleasant feature of Al-Rayyan - the team performs extremely poorly at home. It was only in the last round of the Qatari championship that they managed to break a series of 11 consecutive matches without wins on their own field. Al-Ahly is much superior to his opponent in terms of composition and is quite capable of inflicting another home defeat on his opponent. We think that's how the game will end.
Our betting tip is that Al-Ahly will win in 1.62
Bet on the total
The guests have a very powerful squad, especially in the offensive line, so the greens will definitely not sit on the defensive. The Jeddah-based club has regularly shipped two or three goals against their rivals in recent matches, and Al-Rayyan is unlikely to be an exception. At the same time, the hosts may well score a prestige goal, so it's worth betting more on the total.
Our betting tip is a total of more than three goals in 1.80
Betting on corners
Both teams are attacking, so it is likely that in this meeting we will see a decent number of serves from the corner flag. We will place another bet on this event.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 9.5 corners in 1.70
