THE PREDICTION
Last year’s AFC Champions League was one to forget for Al Rayyan, who accumulated just two points across the group stage, losing four of their six games played with 12 goals conceded. They’ll be hoping for much better this time round, starting against Istiklol of Taijikistan. With reigning champions Al Hilal in the same ground alongside Sharjah FC, who reached the round the 16 last time out, this represents a crucial game for both, as each will be targeting three points knowing that their chances of accruing points from the likes of Al Hilal are slim. With that in mind, expect an end-to-end battle as both push bodies forward whenever possible, sacrificing defensive stability in a bid to gain victory and backing over 2.5 goals scored looks a shrewd move.
