Players to watch out for:
Abdullah Al-Salem (Al Khaleej)
The number 11 of The Pearls is also their top scorer in the ongoing league campaign with five goals. He is coming into this game with four goals in his last two matches. The Saudi Arabian attacker will be given the responsibility to make a difference against league leaders. He needs to show his clinical edge as he won’t get many chances against the Blue Power.
Aleksandar Mitrovic (Al-Hilal)
The Serbian striker is in the form of his life right now. The 30-year-old has found the back of the net on 18 occasions in as many games. He is one of the key reasons behind Al Hilal’s recent success. As this game has become a must-win for the visitors, they will look to rely on their star striker to give them an edge against their opponents.
