Navbahor have been struggling with their form in recent times and now will face the Asian giants Al-Hilal in their home. They will look to get something from the match as they are already very close to securing a place in the Knockout rounds. Last time they performed very well away from home as they secured a historic draw against a very strong side.
Whereas, the away team Al-Hilal are in fine form and will look to extend their winning run when they face the Uzbek side. They have already booked their place in the knockout match and will look to finish high up in the points table.
He is a very pacy winger known for his pace and dribbling skills and he will be a big threat in the wings for the Saudi side as they will look to mark him as tight as possible. Due to his quick feet, he is able to get past defenders with ease. His performance will be very crucial for the Uzbek side as they will look to get three points.
Aleksandar Mitrovic (Al-Hilal)
Mitrović is the prototypical number 9, an old-fashioned, physically imposing striker who is capable of holding the ball up with his back to goal and getting into goal-scoring areas. He has been in fine form after joining the Saudi side and is scoring goals for fun. Navbahor defenders have to be aware of his presence inside the box.
