Sharjah vs Al Taawoun Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | AFC Champions League Two 2024-25

The Kings will take on the Wolves in the second leg of the AFC Champions League Two Semi-Final.

Sharjah FC will lock horns against Al Taawoun in the second leg of the AFC Champions League Two semi-final. The Saudi Arabian side, Al Taawoun, narrowly won the game in the first leg of the Semi-Final. Despite being the home team, they didn’t perform well but somehow got a good result.

Last time, when both of these teams faced each other in the AFC Champions League, Al Taawoun won the first leg but lost the game in the second leg. They will look to not repeat the same mistakes of the past, as they are a better side this season.

They took eight shots, out of which only one was on target, which was the goal scored. Al Taawoun are a team who are really good at defending. Surely they will have to maintain their shape and discipline through the second leg to win this fixture.

Sharjah, despite being the better side, lost the first leg. They were clearly the better team and deserved more in the first leg. The UAE-based team will be confident going into this fixture as they are in good form and will look to use the home advantage to win this fixture.

In the first leg, they took 12 shots, and they didn’t have a single shot on target. Considering their quality, they will be very disappointed with their overall performance. Sharjah do have a good record at home, and surely they will have to be at their best to turn around this situation.

Players to Watch

Caio Lucas (Sharjah)

The Brazilian recently became a naturalized Emirati and was called up to the United Arab Emirates national team for the first time. He has a lot of experience playing in Asia. This is his fourth season with the UAE-based club.

Earlier, he played for Kashiman Antlers and Al Ain as well. He also played for the Portuguese giants Benfica for some time. Lucas is a player who plays on the wing.

His playing style is very similar to that of a typical Brazilian player. Despite having a short frame, he is fast and agile, which makes it very difficult to knock him off the ball. He will be a player who can make the difference for the home side in the second leg. In 28 games, he has scored 14 goals and provided five assists this season.

Abdelhamed Sabiri(Al Taawoun)

Sabiri is a very direct player who likes to move the ball quickly and vertically to advance play quickly. With the ball, Sabiri can drift inside and shoot, as well as take up good positions to pose a threat on goal. The Moroccan delays his runs to stay unmarked and coordinates with the strikers to receive the ball with the chance of shooting.

He is incredibly quick, he often likes to dribble to get break defensive lines instead of opting to break lines via pass. Physically, he is strong and is able to win duels and doesn’t give away the ball easily. In 14 matches this season, he has scored three goals and provided one assist.
