Al-Wehdat
Sharjah Cultural Club
One of the matches in the 6th round of the AFC Champions League Second Division will be played in Amman, where local team Al-Wehdat will host Al-Sharjah. I suggest a bet on the number of goals in this match with an excellent coefficient.
Match Preview
Al-Wehdat has performed well in this season's Champions League and has already secured qualification for the next round. In five matches, the team has recorded three victories and remained unbeaten. With 11 points, Al-Wehdat is ahead of Sepahan by 4 points and will not drop below second place.
The team played against Sepahan in the last round, drawing 1-1 away. Ahead of their match against Al-Sharjah, the "Green Giants" are coming off a defeat in the Shield Cup to Al-Salt in a penalty shootout. At the same time, after 8 rounds in the domestic league, Al-Wehdat is in third place, trailing leaders Al-Hussein by five points.
Meanwhile, Al-Sharjah occupies second place in the group, trailing their upcoming opponent by just one point. The team is ahead of Sepahan by three points, but the head-to-head record between the clubs is even, and Sepahan can surpass Al-Sharjah if they win and Al-Sharjah loses to the group leader.
In their last match, Al-Sharjah defeated Istiklol Dushanbe 3-1 at home. This victory marked their third in the last four matches across all competitions. Notably, the team won two matches in the UAE Pro League and continues to lead the standings. Al-Sharjah is only two points ahead of second-place Al-Ahli Dubai.
