Al-Duhail — Al-Ittihad Prediction, H2H and Probable Lineups — 24 November 2025
On November 24, 2025, in the 5 round of the AFC Champions League - League Phase, Al-Duhail will host Al-Ittihad. The match is scheduled to kick off at 17:00 Central European Time. Let’s take a closer look at the potential outcome of this clash.
Al-Duhail
Al-Duhail enter this matchup following a league defeat in Qatar. At home, the team faced Al-Ahli Doha and lost 2–3. They had twice taken the lead during the match but were unable to hold on for victory. This loss ended a decent streak of three consecutive unbeaten games across all competitions. In the league, the team’s performance so far has been unconvincing. After 10 rounds, Al-Duhail have 12 points and sit in 8th place in the standings. They are 6 points clear of the relegation zone but 13 points behind the leaders.
However, the team was very confident in their last AFC Champions League match. Playing at home against Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai, they won 4–1. This victory marked Al-Duhail’s first win in this year’s Asian Champions League, after one draw and two defeats in previous matches. Currently, they occupy 7th place in the West group with 4 points.
At home, the team has shown solid form recently. In their last six home matches, Al-Duhail recorded three wins, one draw, and two losses.
Regarding head-to-head encounters with Al Ittihad, the teams last met over ten years ago in Qatar, when Al-Duhail secured a home victory 2–0.
Al-Ittihad
Al Ittihad, in contrast to their upcoming opponent, bounced back in their most recent league match by defeating Al-Riyadh 2–1, having lost at home 0–1 to Al-Ahli in the previous round. In the Saudi Pro League standings, Al Ittihad currently occupy only 7th place after 10 rounds, a disappointing position for the reigning champions and far below the expectations for a team of their stature.
In the AFC Champions League, Al Ittihad won their last home game against Al-Sharjah from the UAE 3-0, having previously secured an away victory over Al-Shorta from Iraq 4-1. These wins slightly improved their position in the group table, as the team had lost its first two matches in the competition. Currently, Al Ittihad occupy 6th place in the West group with 6 points, two points ahead of their upcoming opponent, Al-Duhail.
Regarding head-to-head encounters, the teams have met only twice, both in the 2014 AFC Champions League, with each side winning their respective home game.

Al-Duhail — Al-Ittihad Prediction
Both teams enter this matchup in less-than-optimal form. Al-Duhail lost their most recent league game and currently currently occupy relatively low positions in both their domestic league and the AFC Champions League. As for the Saudi club, Al-Ittihad have looked more confident in recent matches, but overall, they have yet to reach the level expected of them. Regarding head-to-head encounters, the teams have met infrequently and a long time ago, with each side having one win in their two previous meetings. Both teams have shown fairly active and high-scoring football in their recent matches, often scoring and conceding goals. Therefore, we expect an open game in this clash as well, with goals from both sides. My bet for this match: Total Over 2.5 Goals at odds of 1.59.
