THE PREDICTION

Istiqlol have gone over six months without a game and that is a big concern ahead of their AFC Champions League campaign. They only managed to win one of their last four games in the Vysshaya Liga, although they were unbeaten in their previous 17. Despite that, Shabab Al Ahli are unbeaten in their last 21 and with match fitness likely to be an issue for their opponents, it would be a surprise if the team from UAE were unable to claim the victory.
