Al Ahli vs Al Duhail prediction

Reigning Asian champions Al Ahli have been much better domestically this season as they seek to defend the AFC Champions League, too, with a strong squad coached by former Red Bull Salzburg manager Matthias Jaissle.

Al Duhail come into this one on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Al Ahli the other day to continue a very underwhelming Qatar Stars League season as they sit seventh in the table in the 2025/26 campaign.

The winner of this round of 16 clash will be favourites against Malaysian outfot Johor Darul Ta’zim in the quarter-finals and Al Ahli are firm favourites for that.
