💭 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Al-Wakrah are capable enough to breach the defence of this Al-Sadd side, but it may not quite be enough to prevent defeat.

We think that it’s going to be a close game with a 2-1 winning score for Al-Sadd by the conclusion of the game. Definitely a tough call.
