Al Ahli Jeddah
- Al Ahli Jeddah have won 4 and drawn 1 of their last 5 games in all competitions.
- Al Ahli have won their last 2 consecutive games, including a 2-1 away win over Al Sadd in the AFC Champions League.
- Al Ahli Jeddah sit second in their AFC Champions League 2025/2026 group on 10 points from 4 games and have yet to lose at home in the competition (W2) in 2025/2026.
- The Saudi giants have averaged a dominant 4.00 goals per game at home in the tournament to date, but have been just as stingy at the back, conceding just 1.00 per game.
- Al Ahli are managed by Matthias Jaissle, who has implemented a modern, possession based system since taking the reins in July 2023.
- Jaissle’s team will look to impose their own style on games with high-tempo, possession-based play, which allows them to transition quickly and press with high numbers, often overloading wide areas and pulling their full-backs into advanced positions, a strategy that is often mentioned in our Al Ahli Jeddah vs Al Sharjah SCC betting tips.
Sharjah
- Sharjah, on the other hand, are struggling like never before, having lost 5 consecutive matches in all competitions.
- They come into this game sitting 8th in the same group, having picked up just 4 points from 4 AFC Champions League 2025/2026 games.
- Milos Milojević has been at the helm since July 2025, bringing a more conservative approach to the team.
- Defensively, Sharjah are much more solid and disciplined under Milojević, who sets up in a more compact style, which is more than capable of clogging up the middle of the park and soaking up pressure with patience before hitting on the counter according to the Al Ahli Jeddah vs Al Sharjah SCC betting tips analysis.
- Sharjah will look to get Caio Lucas and their attacking midfielders to provide moments of magic, particularly on the break where their forwards can run on to the ball and get them into scoring positions.
