📏 Form Guide

Istiklol

LLLLLW

Istiklol are hoping to win again after their last result, a 2-0 AFC Champions League success over Sharjah.

It has not been often in recent times that Istiklol haven’t conceded. The facts show that Istiklol have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 10 goals in the process. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to follow through here, however.

Al-Duhail

WLWWWD

In the game prior to this, Al-Duhail drew 3-3 in the Stars League match with Al-Arabi.

For Al-Duhail, the scorers were Michael Olunga (5') and Ismaeel Mohammad (91'). Abdou Diallo (13', 58' Own goal) was the scorer for Al-Arabi.

Al-Duhail have been effective going forward leading up to this encounter, scoring 17 goals in their previous 6 matches. While their manager will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Al-Duhail can also improve defensively after being scored against in 6 of those same outings.

📋 Team News: Istiklol

The Istiklol boss Mubin Ergashev will be thankful to have no fitness worries at all before this clash thanks to a fully healthy squad ready to go.

📋 Team News: Al-Duhail

Al-Duhail has some current player fitness concerns. Edmílson Junior (Ankle Injury) and Philippe Coutinho (Unknown Injury) won’t be making appearances.

💡 Prediction

Our feeling is that Istiklol should get enough chances to find the back of the net against this Al-Duhail lineup, but one goal possibly won’t be enough to give them the result that they want.

We are therefore anticipating a very close game with a 1-2 winning margin for Al-Duhail at full-time.
