Al-Sadd vs Al Markhiya tips and predictions

Al-Sadd price makes them unbackable

Al-Sadd can't be backed at the short odds. If the visitors end up getting anything from this match they will be dining out on it for years.

The hosts are unanimously expected to win but they can be beaten. In recent home matches Al-Sadd's performances might be important. They've been goalless in 6 of their last 20 games on their own turf which is a fact that will encourage backers of the unfancied side. In defence Al-Sadd's performances have shown some signs of trouble. They conceded two or more goals in 6 of their last 9 matches which is a fact that will give backers of the upset some confidence.

Al Markhiya have surprisingly got a win in 2 of their last 3 trips away. They have been solid at the back when on the road. Conceding an average of 1.0 goals across their latest 4 trips has given them decent foundations to work with. While most people think they'll need a miracle, the visitors might just do something special here. Their best performances have been made possible by how clinical they can be in front of goal. They've scored at least once in all of their last 7 games which is something they'll have to build on to have any chance of doing things here.

If Al-Sadd are to justify their short price they may come out eager to maintain a clean sheet. It isn't a strong view but the No BTTS bet seems good.
