Foolad Khuzestan vs Al Gharafa: Home team won't lose

Welcome to the Asian most prestigious club competition, AFC Champions League, where top clubs from the Asian continent contest to select who will represent them at the world level. Foolad Khuzestan will lead the way as they welcome the team from Qatar, Al Gharafa, their last appearance was in 2018 and they are set to face a more experienced Iran side at the Prince Abdullah al-Faisal Stadium tomorrow evening. All the matches will be played in Saudi Arabia.

The host heads into this game after a disappointing outing last year where they finished at the bottom of the log with five points in six matches.

They are presently 3rd in the Iranian premier league table and might not appear in this competition next season if they further dropdown.

They are a well-experienced side and have learnt some significant lessons from their last year's performance in this tournament.

The visitors head into this match having finished 5th in the just concluded Qatar league where they were behind the lead leader Al-Sadd with twenty-seven points.

Their last taste of the tournament was dated back in 2018 where they finished 3rd with eight points as their stay was cut short.

Stramaccioni's men are a bunch of young players but are not afraid to face any team in this tournament.

Both teams haven't met before in this competition, Foolad are a more experienced team in this tournament and the Iranian side are always a force to beckon within this competition, bet on a home win for 1.60.

For two seasons, the Iranian side couldn't sign players but have added some quality in some departments to compete in a competition like this.

Since this is their first meeting we have to be cautious and play safe, we believe the home team won't lose and at the same time, the visitors love to score, bet on BTTS for 2.37.

A correct score of 3-1 for 17.00 won't be bad.

Good luck!
