Machida Zelvia vs Shabab Al Ahli prediction

In their quarter-final, Machida Zelvia managed to edge past Al Ittihad by a goal to nil at the Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Stadium in Jeddah, while Shabab Al Ahli managed to get past Buriram United with a thrilling extra-time victory in Saudi Arabia.

Machida Zelvia have suffered just one defeat in their last six matches across all competitions. They now face a Shabab Al Ahli side that are second in the UAE Pro League and had hammered Tractor in the round of 16 last week.

Machida Zelvia are a difficult team to beat but Shabab Al Ahli will be expected to draw them out into quite an entertaining contest in which both teams scoring seems a good bet.

Machida Zelvia vs Shabab Al Ahli tip: Both teams to score
