Al Wasla vs Al Wehdat Prediction 24.12.2025 | AFC Champions League Two

Al Wasl head into their final AFC Champions League Two group-stage clash against Al Wehdat in commanding form, sitting comfortably atop Group A and increasingly looking like one of the competition’s potential dark horses.

After navigating the opening half of the group phase flawlessly by collecting the maximum nine points, the Cheetahs eased off the accelerator but crucially remained unbeaten, sharing the spoils in their two second-half fixtures with a 2-2 draw against Al Muharraq and a 1-1 stalemate versus Esteghlal.

Although qualification for the knockout stage is already secured, Vacant’s men arrive at this finale still searching for their trademark rhythm. A worrying seven-match winless streak across all competitions (D5, L2) highlights a noticeable dip in momentum that has slightly taken the shine off their impressive continental campaign.

Compounding matters, Al Wasl will be forced to cope without several key figures, as Soufiane Bouftini, Nicolas Gimenez, and Ali Saleh are all away on international duty. Their absences could test the depth and adaptability of the squad as the Emirati side look to close out the group stage on a positive note.

As for Al Wehdat, they head into their final assignment in the UAE rooted to the bottom of Group A, with their hopes of reaching the knockout stages hanging by a thread and looking increasingly remote — even if they manage to engineer a successful result in midweek.

After failing to collect a single point from their opening three ACL2 fixtures, the Green Giants managed to breathe new life into their continental campaign with a narrow 2-1 victory over Al Muharraq, followed by a resilient 1-1 draw against Esteghlal. Even so, qualification would require a mountainous task, likely demanding a multi-goal win, which is far easier said than done.

Their cause is further undermined by inconsistent performances on the road, having recorded just two victories from their last six away trips across all competitions. Nevertheless, Al Wehdat will look to capitalize on their Kuwaiti opponents’ poor run of form in an attempt to keep their slim hopes alive.

In terms of team news, Jordanian side will be without right-back and captain Feras Shelbaieh, who remains sidelined with a ligament injury and is not expected to return imminently. Aside from his absence, the rest of the squad will be available for selection as head coach Jamal Mahmoud seeks a near-perfect performance from his players.
