The situation in Al Shabab goes from bad to worse, since they still have dishonest results and are able to lose from any opponent, having the ability to score goals in any way.
The last perpetrator of the Najran team, which, although equaled by Al Shabab at 82, managed to win the delays. Generally, nobody has understood why they made a whole lot of trouble in the winter to get coach Pacheco from Zamalek. He has not offered any changes to the team and everyone confesses that Al Shabab was better before his arrival.
There is a contrary climate on Naft Tehran. After the big victory against Esteghlal, they remain at the top of the scoring and have turned all their interest in the fight with Al Shabab after the championship is interrupted and they want to win their first Champions League win.
Naft Tehran could have had better results in her earlier games, but her inexperience cost a lot, after making critical mistakes and accepting goals that she should have avoided.
I believe that the Iranians have learned from their mistakes and will not repeat them. They are a much better team than Al Shabab and I would expect the odds for the home win close to 2.00. For me, the 2.25 that stoiximan gives us has value and must be bet.
