- Competition: AFC Champions League
- Date: Monday, 24th November, 2025
- Kickoff: 16:00 UK / 17:00 CET
- Venue: Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium (Doha)
On Monday afternoon, Al-Duhail will welcome Al Ittihad in the fifth round of the AFC Champions League at Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha. Both teams will hope to continue with good performances in the competition, as Al Duhail won their last game against Shabab Al Ahli Doha, and Al Ittihad won back-to-back AFC Champions League matches against Al Hilal and Al Sharjah.
Let's break down the game and find the best possible bet for this AFC Champions League tie.
H2H stats
These teams only met twice - back in 2014 when they faced off in the AFC Champions League Group phase. That time, both teams won their home games - Al Duhail 2:0 and Al Ittihad 3:1.
Al Duhail team overview
Al Duhail were close to winning the double last season, but lost to Al Sadd in the Cup Finals after penalties, and also finished two points behind them in the domestic league. However, this season, they are not even remotely as good, considering they have won just 12 points in 10 rounds in the QSL. That is almost 1.1 points per game fewer than last season.
In the AFC Champions League, they won four points in four matches and are very close to dropping out of the top eight, and have to do well in the remaining games.
In the previous game vs Al Ahli Doha, two players suffered injuries and had to leave the field - Abdullah Al Ahrak and Tahsin Jamshid. Still, neither of them is an important part of the first eleven, and their absences should not be a massive problem.

Al Ittihad team overview
Al Ittihad managed to win the double last year, their first ever in the club's 97-year history. This year, the popular Tigers aren't doing great, considering they are 7th in the domestic league - already 10 points behind the first-placed Al Nassr and with one game played more! Still, to be fair, they aren't playing as poorly, and it is fair to expect they can turn things around at least a bit.
In the AFC Champions League, they are in 6th place with six points in four rounds. Looking at the remainder of their schedule, we firmly believe they will have no problems securing the next stage of the competition.

Prediction
Al Duhail have had mixed results lately, but they are scoring goals regularly. They managed to score at least once in the last eight games across the competitions. We also saw both teams scoring in five out of their last six games across the competitions. Additionally, both teams have scored in all four of their AFC Champions League games thus far.
Meanwhile, both teams scored in Al Ittihad's last four road games. In fact, we saw both teams scoring in six out of eight road games across the competitions - 75%. They are generally a good offensive team, but for some reason, they are doing great away from home, scoring at least one goal in every single game. So, it is fair to expect they would score against Al Duhail, which haven't had a clean sheet in the AFC Champions League.
Considering all the above, we expect an exciting game with both teams scoring at least once.
3 Reasons why both teams should score
- Al Duhail scored in the last eight games across the competitions
- We saw both teams scoring in four of Al Duhail's AFC Champions League games
- Al Ittihad scored in all eight road games
