AFC Champions League betting and spectator preview: Al Ahli and Esteghlal meet at venue to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Pro League match only three days ago. That game was an away game at Al Wahda, so at least Al Ahli are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

It's quite the trip for Esteghlal when visiting Al Ahli as the cities are 2500 kilometers apart.

Al Ahli form and stats

Al Ahli was eliminated in the 8th finals last season in the AFC Champions League. Al Hilal was too strong.

20 points is a decent return from 9 Pro League games here for Al Ahli. The data says 6 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. After failing to beat Al Nassr here, Al Ahli has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with six wins in a row.

The fans are hoping that Al Ahli will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Pro League game against Al Wahda. A 1-1 draw away in the AFC Champions League before that, with Al Wahda the opponent.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Al Ahli, as the Pro League home game vs Al Fateh is only four days away.
