Al Hilal is set to take on Al Sadd in the AFC Champions League, coming off a remarkable 6-0 victory in the Pro League. Historically dominant against Al Sadd, including a recent 3-1 victory, Al Hilal looks primed to advance, aided by strong performances from players like Karim Benzema. Despite Al Sadd's solid run in the Qatar Stars League, they face an uphill battle against a formidable Al Hilal side under Simone Inzaghi's guidance. Al Sadd's vulnerabilities against stronger teams might see them fall short in this crucial match.

Al Hilal were the best team in the group stage and will be more than happy to contest this tie over one leg in Saudi Arabia. Al Sadd can score here but are likely to come up short against Al Hilal’s lethal attack.

HTH - Al Hilal on Top


Al Hilal have commanding 9-3 lead against Al Sadd alongside four draws. They met in the group stage in October, Al Hilal with 3.98-0.73 xG in a 3-1 home win.

Al Hilal Unbeaten


Al Hilal are undefeated in all 40 matches this season, 30 of those ending in victories. They finished top of the AFC Champions League West Region, earning seven wins in eight games.

Despite not tasting defeat in the Saudi Pro League, Simone Inzaghi’s side sit five points behind Al Nassr. There have been too many draws, including a recent 2-2 stalemate against Al Taawon after registering 24-6 shots and 2.36-0.46 xG.

Karim Benzema hit a first half hat-trick as Al Hilal thrashed Al Kholood 6-0 on Wednesday. The 39-year-old has scored eight goals in seven appearances since joining the club.

Al Sadd Top in Qatar


Al Sadd sneaked into the AFC Champions League round of 16 after finishing eighth in the West Region. They had a -4 goal difference after losing half of their eight matches.

Three of those defeats came against Saudi sides, including a 4-1 home loss to Al Ittihad and 3-1 loss at Al Hilal.

Roberto Mancini have a five point lead at the top of the Qatar Stars League. Akram Afif scored twice and Roberto Firmino found the net in a 3-1 win at Al Sailiya last time out.

Verdict

Al Hilal are coming off a 6-0 win in the Pro League and beat Al Saad 3-1 in October. Simone Inzaghi has a superior side to his compatriot Roberto Mancini, and that is likely to make the difference in Jeddah.
