Al-Sadd vs Al-Ittihad prediction, match preview, betting tips and odds on February 17, 2026
AFC Champions League
On February 17, the 8th round match of the main stage of the AFC Champions League will take place between Al-Sadd and Al-Ittihad. Will the hosts be able to remain in the playoff zone?
Our Prediction for the Al-Sadd vs Al-Ittihad Match
Despite a rather problematic start to the season, Al-Sadd is now showing very confident results. After 15 rounds of the Qatar championship, the team has 32 points, allowing them to top the league table. The gap from their nearest rival, Al-Gharafa, is currently only 1 point. In the Emir Cup, the club has already reached the quarterfinals, where they will play against Al-Shamal. However, in the Asian Champions League, the Qataris are not as sure-footed—after 7 rounds, the team has 8 points, which currently puts them in 8th place, enough to advance to the playoffs. To guarantee a spot in the next stage, Al-Sadd needs only a win.
The season is not going well for the reigning champions of Saudi Arabia. After 21 rounds of the national league, the club has collected 37 points, which currently places them 6th in the overall standings. However, the gap from the top three is significant—13 points. In the King's Cup, Al-Ittihad has reached the semifinals, where they will face Al-Kholood. On the international stage, the Saudis look better—12 points in 7 rounds of the AFC Champions League have already secured the club a place in the tournament playoffs.
