Predictions & Tips
Form Guide
Al Hilal
WWWDW
Al Hilal were the only side in the West Zone with a perfect record through the league phase; winning all their home games at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh and going unbeaten in the continental campaign. They are in exceptional domestic form too, sitting second in the Saudi Pro League on 64 points. Their squad is laden with quality experience, physicality and technical ability across every department. In the H2H record against Al-Sadd across all competitions, Al Hilal have won six of the last thirteen meetings. In the continental competition this season, Al Hilal scored 17 goals in six games while conceding just six.
Al-Sadd
WLLDW
Al-Sadd finished eighth in the West Zone winning just one of their six away games in the league phase. Their overall league phase tally of 12 goals scored against 16 conceded underlines the gulf in class between them and the phase's top performers. While they have pedigree in Qatari and Asian football, their continental form this season has been far below what their history suggests they are capable of. The Jeddah neutral setting removes any home advantage from Al Hilal, but the Saudi side's familiarity with regional conditions is considerable.
Prediction
Al Hilal's attacking output suggests this fixture would likely end in over 1.5 goals at full-time.
