① Al-Duhail enter as favorites with stronger squad depth and ACL experience.

② Al Ahli can threaten on counters but neutral venue reduces home advantage.

③ Expect a tense matchup with late goals deciding the result.

① Duhail's depth and home form tilt the balance in a high-quality clash against Al-Sadd.

② Sadd possess attacking options that can breach the home defense.

③ Past head-to-heads suggest a closely contested game with a 2-1 win for Duhail.
