Predictions and odds analysis from top experts.
Al-Shabab will host Tishreen in the second leg of the Arab Club Champions Cup qualifying round. In the first leg played 4 days ago at Tishreen's home ground, the two teams drew 1-1.
At the moment, Al-Shabab is in third place in the Saudi Arabian national championship with 53 points after 25 rounds, four points behind second-placed Al Nassr but having played one game less. In their recent 5 matches, Al-Shabab has won 3, drawn 1, and lost 1. Their home form is still very stable, having won all 4 of their recent matches.
Meanwhile, Tishreen is currently in sixth place in the Syrian national championship with 24 points after 16 rounds. Although they are unbeaten in their last 7 matches, Tishreen has only won 2, drawn 5, and lost none. In their recent 5 away matches, they have won 2, drawn 2, and lost 1.
Being the home team in the second leg, Al-Shabab is the favorite, which is understandable. However, the handicap odds are quite high, reaching -1 1/2. Although Al-Shabab is in good form at home, it is clear that Tishreen is not easy to beat even when playing away. Therefore, with such a high handicap, the underdog may be a more reasonable choice.
Although the handicap odds are high, the over/under odds are only at 2 3/4. While Al-Shabab's defense has been solid at home, keeping a clean sheet in their last 3 matches, Tishreen has also been playing defensively well, not conceding any goals in their last 3 matches. Therefore, this may still be a low-scoring match.
Predicted score: Al-Shabab 1-0 Tishreen
