Al Sadd vs Al Hilal Lineups, prediction, betting tips & odds

The visitors suffered their first league defeat of the season in the previous match.

Al Hilal are emerging as one of the favourites to lift the title of AFC Champions League Elite. They currently sit at the top spot of Group B with 12 points from their opening four matches. They have maintained a perfect record in the ongoing continental tournament.

However, The Blue Waves suffered their first defeat of the league season during their latest Saudi Pro League encounter against Al Khaleej. That defeat can either work as a much-needed wake-up call for the team or they might lose all their momentum. They are in a very fragile moment and their upcoming match-up is very important for them.

Al Sadd on the other hand are not that far behind the Blue Waves in the points table. They currently sit in the fourth spot. With two wins and two draws, Al Sadd have accumulated eight points so far.

They are still undefeated in the competition and expect them to take their opponents to their limits. Al Sadd will also have the home advantage over the Saudi Giants which will make the dynamics of this match even more interesting.

Players to watch out for:

Akram Afif (Al Sadd)

The Qatari international is one of the most technically gifted players in Al Sadd’s entire squad. He is very versatile and can play in multiple offensive positions like centre forward, left-wing, and attacking midfield. He is also the current top goalscorer of Al Sadd in the competition. The 28-year-old will be responsible for making a difference and giving an edge to the home side.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic (Al Hilal)

The 29-year-old midfielder has been a very consistent performer throughout his time at Al Hilal. He can play equally well across all the positions in the midfield. The Serbian international is also a lethal threat from the deadball situation. He has two goals and one assist for Al Hilal in the AFC Champions League Elite so far.
