THE PREDICTION

Al-Shorta’s 2-0 defeat to Al-Duhail in their opening match of the group stage makes it back-to-back defeats after a domestic loss to Al-Najaf. They come up against an Esteghlal side that hammered Al-Ahli 5-2 in their first game but they did require two late goals to add gloss to that scoreline. One side began with a two goal defeat whilst one side began with a three goal victory. Therefore, Esteghlal will come into this as favourites for this one.
