UAE-Qatar Super Shield
The direct head-to-head record between these two clubs is minimal. According to the latest data, Al-Duhail and Shabab Al-Ahli have met just once preceding this encounter, with Shabab Al-Ahli winning 2-1 in April 2024.
Al Duhail team overview
Al-Duhail enter this match with strong attacking metrics - in the 2025/26 domestic season, they average approximately 2.0 goals per game. However, that scoring proficiency has not directly translated into consistent results or a high points tally so far. The team currently sits sixth in the Stars League, having collected 11 points from eight matches, but has failed to win two of their last three outings.
In the AFC Champions League, their struggles have been more pronounced. Al-Duhail remain winless after three group-stage games, earning just a single point from a 2-2 draw with Al-Ahli. Despite their attacking potential, defensive lapses and inconsistency have hampered their continental campaign.
On a positive note, the club faces minimal injury concerns, with no major absentees reported - suggesting Al-Duhail should be close to full strength for Monday’s fixture.

Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai team overview
Shabab Al-Ahli’s recent form has been far more encouraging. They are unbeaten over the past month across all competitions, winning four of their last six matches, including back-to-back victories in the AFC Champions League - a 1-0 triumph over Al-Ittihad and a commanding 4-1 win against Nasaf.
Their impressive run has largely been built on defensive solidity and tactical discipline. Shabab Al-Ahli have kept clean sheets in five of their last six fixtures in all competitions, consistently frustrating opposing attacks. Their defensive record is even more remarkable in the UAE Pro League, where they have conceded just one goal in six league matches - the best record in the division.

Prediction
Given the numbers and context: Al-Duhail’s high scoring rate at home could test Shabab Al-Ahli’s resilient defence. Shabab Al-Ahli arrive with lower attacking returns and may find it hard to dominate territory or tempo, but their recent winning streak of five in six across all competitions give them a massive confidence boost. The hosts have failed to consolidate their status as a competitive side in the AFC Champions League in the first three games, while the visitors are enjoying their best spell of the season so far and have the confidence to prolong its winning momentum on Monday. We predict a win for Shabab Al-Ahli.
