Al Sadd vs Al Wasl Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The hosts held Al Wasl to a 1-1 draw in the first leg.

Al Sadd are ready to host Al Wasl in the AFC Champions League 2024-25 round of 16 second leg contest. The first leg was also a close affair and even after scoring goals, the teams did not get apart. Al Wasl scored a goal early in the game and Al Sadd scored an equaliser in the second half which levelled the scoreline.

Sadd will be at home and which will bring them with confidence. They had a decent attacking rate in the first leg but they should be ready to attack from the start for the second leg. This will increase their chances of getting through to the next stage of the AFC Champions League Elite.

Al Wasl at home did decent enough but this time the contest will be away from home and they will have to work harder than before here. They can score early goals that’s what was experienced in the first leg. Al Wasl can do exactly the same and defend well which will surely help them get through.
