The level of the league is generally tested by intercontinental competitions. Iran's powerhouse Tehran is independent and has won 9 league titles, or Persepolis has come out, perhaps one or two more trophies can be added to the honor room. And Jeddah Al-Ahli from Saudi Arabia, no less, has won the cup 28 times and ranked third in league history. Both teams are undoubtedly able to represent the highest level of their respective leagues.
Jeddah Al-Ahli defeated Russaf Police 2-1 at home in the last round of the AFC Champions League group stage to face the weakest opponents in the group to win back-to-back, but the third-placed team still faces a tough situation in qualifying for the group. During the group stage, the team scored 6 goals, all contributed by two top scorers, Somacher and Grebe, the former 4 goals and the latter 2 goals. As the "home team" in this group (the group stage matches were played at king Abdulrah Stadium, the home of Jeddah Ahli), Jeddah Ahli lost 2-5 to their opponent Tehran Independence in the first round.
Tehran Independence currently has 7 points on the same points as Jeddah Al-Ahli, but has four more goals on goal difference. After starting with a winning streak in the first two rounds of the group stage, it was followed by a back-to-back draw against Doha Duhele, 1 draw and 1 defeat, although the Iranian team scored at least 2 goals per game, showing strong offensive ability. Mali striker Diabate has scored four goals during the group stage, with Ismaili and Gaedi also scoring three goals each. Left-back Nadri was injured or sidelined in the last round. Tehran independence has won 4-1 in five AFC Champions League meetings between the two teams in recent years, during which both teams have scored three goals in their matches.
It's a back-to-back 6-point showdown, and Duhail will face the Baghdad Police Team, the weakest in the group, for three points. This means that the qualifying quota will only be one between the two, and a desperate fight is about to be staged. Since Tehran still has two more goals on goal difference than its opponents, ahli is not far from being out in the event of a defeat.
The data is still weird, and the shot is one in front of you, and you are still wondering if you are wrong. When the fundamentals were given to Tehran, it was not hurried to get on the road in the face of such waters. The water level of the home team's victory is rising, and the heat is gradually tilting towards the Iranian team. This is optimistic about Tehran's independence, although it is a home battle, and a battle of backwater. But the past head-to-head record and strong strength are the biggest confidence we are optimistic about.
