AFC Champions League Elite - R16 - Preview: Al Ittihad Club (KSA) v Al Wahda FC (UAE)

Jeddah: Al Ittihad Club will have to be at their best if they are to get the better of Al Wahda FC when the sides meet in the Round of 16 of the AFC Champions League Elite 2025/26™ on Tuesday.

Saudi Arabia's Al Ittihad overcame a slow start in the League Stage to finish fourth in the standings while Al Wahda of the United Arab Emirates were a rung lower.

With the defence of their Saudi Pro League title over, Al Ittihad are seeking continental glory - having twice won the AFC Champions League - to ensure a successful season.

Having started with two defeats, Al Ittihad won five of their last six games, including each of the last three on the bounce and will look to carry that form into the clash against Al Wahda.

Al Wahda, however, are unbeaten in their last four meetings with Al Ittihad, after losing each of their first three clashes.

While they are out of the running for the UAE Pro League title, their recent form has been decent and they will fancy their chances of ending Al Ittihad's title dreams.
