Al-Sadd SC vs Al-Duhail SC Prediction: Duhail remains strong at the top of the league

Al-Duhail and Al-Sadd are set to clash at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium on Saturday, with both teams eager to grab all three points. Both teams have won their last two league games and they’ll be aiming for a victory on Saturday. The last time they met, Duhail emerged victorious with a 5-1 scoreline. I expect an exciting match with plenty of goals and a possible victory for Duhail. Let’s analyze both teams’ forms, key stats, and my expert opinion.

Al-Sadd SC (2nd)

Form in the League: WWLWD

Al-Sadd have now made it two consecutive league victories in their last two league games with their most recent league game against Umm Salal ending in a 0-1 victory. They’ve been in sensational form with great attacking potential spearheaded by Akram Afif and Rafa Mujica who have both scored 9 and 10 goals respectively for Al-Sadd this season. 

Their AFC Champions League journey is also going well with 3 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses from the 8 games played and they’ll now compete in the round of 16 starting early next month. Al-Sadd is currently 2nd in the league table with 10 wins, a draw, and 4 losses from the 15 games played. 

Al-Duhail SC (1st)

Form in the League: WWDWL

Duhail continues to uphold their position at the top of the league table and Saturday's game will test their strength and resilience as they go up against their arch-rivals for the championship Al-Sadd. They are in pursuit of Championship glory this season and they cannot afford a slip-up, not at this critical point. 

Duhail is an attacking-minded team and they also have the most goals in the league this season with 41 goals scored and just 11 conceded. Michale Olunga is the man in front of the goal for Duhail with a total of 8 goals already to his name this season. Michael Olunga is the team's top scorer with 9 goals and they are still top of the league with 11 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses from 15 games played. 

Head-To-Head Statistics

A critical look at their last 10 meetings produced 5 victories for Duhail, 3 wins for Al-Sadd, and 2 draws. 

Expert Betting Tips

Duhail is on fire, scoring 41 goals in their last 15 league games, Al-Sadd, on the other hand, has also scored quite an impressive amount of goals this season, 38 goals to the good and only second to Duhail in goals this season. Both teams are on fire and this game is very important to both teams which leads us to our first prediction which is for both teams to find the net and a total of over 2.5 goals scored as this has been the case in 8 of their last 10 meetings. 

To be honest, Duhail is stronger in terms of form and I believe they’ll not lose here. They're the league leaders for a reason! Another bet I like is the corner option. In 4 of their last 5 meetings, there have been more than 8.5 corners. With the high attacking style of both teams, there should be an increased amount of corners in this game. 

Our first prediction is a win or draw for Al-Duhail and a total of over 2.5 goals for 2.19 odds at 1xBet.

Our second prediction is a second half over 1.5 goals for 1.60 odds at Betway.

Our third prediction is a total of over 3.5 goals for 1.92 odds at Bet365.
