Al Ahli Saudi will battle Japan’s Kawasaki Frontale in the final of the AFC Champions League Elite on Saturday in Jeddah. This is the very first meeting between these two teams. The winner will be crowned Asian continental champions and will represent the continent at this year’s FIFA Intercontinental Cup. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
Al Ahli have ended a 13-year wait to reach the final of Asia’s premier football club competition. The Royals last contested the Champions League final in 2012. This is their third appearance, and they will hope it translates to their first top-tier continental title.
Matthias Jaissle’s men defeated record champions and Saudi rivals Al Hilal in the semi-finals. Al Ahli won 3-1 thanks to goals from Ivan Toney, Bobby Firmino, and Feras Al Brikan.
Kawasaki are making their first appearance in the AFC Champions League final. Azzurro Nerro are seeking to become the seventh Japanese team to be crowned Asian champions.
Kawasaki outlasted huge favorites for this year’s title, Al Nassr, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, in the semi-finals. They won 3-2 with Tatsuya Ito, Akihiro Ienaga, and Yuto Ozeki grabbing the goals.
Frontale have now won their last two matches after going five games without a win.
