Al Hilal vs Persepolis Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The dominant hosts are ready for Persepolis in their next AFC Champions League match.

Al Hilal are set to host Iranian side Persepolis in their upcoming AFC Champions League 2024-25 Elite fixture on February 4. Jorge Jesus’ men are flying as they are in great form and are sitting at the top position in Group B of the ACL table. Persepolis on the other hand on the sixth spot.

Al Hilal will be confident as they are on a great run. In their last AFC Champions League Elite meeting they defeated Al Gharafa with ease. They will be looking to keep that top spot for themselves. Jorge Jesus’ men will be keen on securing three more points as the visitors are not looking well equipped.

Persepolis won their last ACL game and secured vital three points. Because of that victory, they are in the zone to get to the next round. It will be a tough outing for the visitors as the hosts are in good form and will not give much chances to the visiting team to get loose. Persepolis have to stand their ground and at least secure a single point.
