Al Ittihad vs Al Wahda prediction 14.04.2026 | AFC Champions League Elite

Al Ittihad’s recent form has been inconsistent and defensively fragile. They have conceded 13 goals across their last five matches, including defeats to Al Ahli and Al Riyadh, highlighting structural issues at the back. In their most recent league outing, they suffered yet another defeat, losing 4-3 to Neom SC.

Despite these struggles, their attacking quality remains a major strength. Players like Houssem Aouar (6 goals in the competition) and Karim Benzema (4 goals) have contributed significantly to their continental campaign.

In terms of availability, Saad Al-Mousa is ruled out through injury, while there are also concerns over additional key players potentially missing the knockout stages due to fitness issues.

Al Wahda arrive with a more controlled but less explosive profile. They are winless in their last five matches (three draws, two defeats), scoring just 6 goals in that period. Al Wahda have drawn their last two league outings - 2-2 against Kalba and 2-2 against Al-Nasr Dubai - which has somewhat stabilised their league form.

Offensively, Caio Canedo has been a key contributor in the competition, while the team’s approach relies on structured buildup and opportunistic finishing rather than sustained attacking pressure.

Importantly, they appear to have a fully fit squad heading into this fixture, with no major injury concerns reported. This stability could be a key factor against an Al Ittihad side dealing with absences.
