- Venue: Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium
Two sides nine places apart in the AFC Champions League meet on Monday afternoon as Al Ain play host to Al Ahli Saudi.
Al Ain have given their fans little to cheer about in all competitions this season. The hosts boast just eleven points from a possible 33 in the league this season and will go into Monday's clash on the back of a three-match home winless streak. Leonardo Jardim's side are also struggling in the AFC Champions League, where they currently sit bottom of the standings with just one point from four games.
Al Ahli didn't get off to the best of starts, but they have grown into the campaign. The Royals prepare for Monday's trip to the Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium with just one defeat in their last seven outings, registering five and one draw. They are also doing well in the AFC Champions League at the moment, with the team winning the last three fixtures 9-1 on aggregate.
Al-Ain vs Al Ahli Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
While Al Ahli kept a clean sheet in each of their last two fixtures with bets on under 2.5 goals won in as many games, matches at the home of the Lions have been largely entertaining this season. Indeed, six or more goals were seen in three of the last five games of Al Ain at this ground.
Defending has also been Al Ain's downfall this season, both home and away. The UAE side have conceded ten goals in their last three matches alone, an average of three goals per game, and have kept a clean sheet in just one of their last twenty encounters. Bets on over 2.5 goals lost in just one of their last ten encounters.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Al-Ain vs Al Ahli prediction: 2-4
Al-Ain team news
Given the result and scoreline in the win over Al Urooba in the UAE Pro League last time out, head coach Leonardo Jardim is unlikely to make alterations to his XI.
With his brace in that game, Kodjo Fo-Doh Laba has now scored seven goals this season and should lead the line, while Khalid Al Baloushi is set to retain his number 10 role.
