Al Sadd vs Al Hilal Predictions
Al Sadd host Al Hilal in an intriguing AFC Elite encounter on Tuesday.
The Saudi visitors have been in excellent form, and they should extend their winning run in Qatar.
I have my stake on an away win with at least two goals scored at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium.
Al Hilal Strong on the Road
- Al Sadd lost their last 2 matches
- Al Sadd lost 3 of their last 4 home matches (AFC Elite league phase)
- Al Sadd conceded 3+ goals in their last 3 matches
- Al Hilal won their last 5 away matches
- Al Hilal scored 2+ goals in 9 of their last 10 matches
Al Sadd Edge Recent H2H
Al Sadd and Al Hilal have met in four competitive fixtures since 2020. Both teams won one match, while two games finished as draws after 90 minutes.
Their most recent encounter ended 3-3 after extra time in April’s AFC Champions League Elite round-of-16 clash.
Al Sadd won the subsequent penalty shootout 4-2 to reach the quarter-finals.
Al Sadd Suffer Back-to-Back Defeats
Al Sadd return to continental action after a disappointing 3-2 home defeat against Al Arabi on Friday.
Roberto Firmino cancelled out Pablo Sarabia’s early opener before the Spaniard restored the visitors’ lead a minute later.
Agustin Soria drew Al Sadd level just before the break, but Oussama Tannane struck early in the second half to secure the points for the Boss.
Razvan Lucescu’s side had more than twice as many shots (26-11) and dominated possession (69%) but were unable to make their dominance count at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium.
The Qatari champions have conceded exactly three goals in each of their last three matches.
Lucescu’s side also made a poor start to their AFC Champions League Elite campaign, suffering a 3-0 defeat at Esteghlal last month.
Their recent home record in the competition offers little encouragement, with Al Sadd losing three of their last four league-phase fixtures across the past two seasons.
Al Hilal Maintain Winning Form
Al Hilal travel to Doha after a well-deserved 3-2 victory against Al Ittihad at Kingdom Arena on Saturday.
Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring before Youssef En-Nesyri equalised for the visitors. Ollie Watkins restored Al Hilal’s advantage before Crysencio Summerville added a crucial third after the break.
Steven Bergwijn’s late penalty reduced the deficit, but Inzaghi’s side held on for their third successive victory.
Final match stats underlined Al Hilal’s attacking superiority. The hosts outshot Al Ittihad 16-7 and recorded an xG of 2.26 compared to the visitors’ 1.14.
Saturday’s success came on the back of a 2-1 home win against Al Gharafa in their AFC Elite opener last month. Ruben Neves and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic were on target as Al Hilal made a winning start to the competition.
Inzaghi’s side have now won seven of their last eight competitive fixtures, with a surprise 2-0 home defeat against Neom their only setback in that run.
Away performances have been particularly convincing. Al Hilal won their last five games on the road, scoring 18 goals while conceding just once.
Al Sadd vs Al Hilal Team News
Al Sadd: (4-2-3-1) Saad Al Sheeb; Pedro Miguel, Tarek Salman, Alessio Romagnoli, Paulo Otavio; Marcelo Brozovic, Mohamed Camara; Agustin Soria, Claudinho, Akram Afif; Roberto Firmino.
Head coach Lucescu is expected to make at least one change to his first XI this week.
Guilherme Torres was withdrawn after just 16 minutes against Al Arabi and is unlikely to feature.
Mohamed Camara is an option to come into midfield after a second-half substitute appearance last week.
Brazilian forward Roberto Firmino should continue in attack after scoring against Al Arabi.
Al Hilal: (4-4-2) Yassine Bounou; Mohammed Mahzari, Hassan Al Tambakti, Kalidou Koulibaly, Theo Hernandez; Gabriel Martinelli, Ruben Neves, Nasser Al Dawsari, Crysencio Summerville; Saimon Bouabre, Ollie Watkins.
Al Hilal boss Inzaghi has a couple of injury issues to deal with ahead of the trip to Qatar.
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Salem Al Dawsari are doubtful to feature after missing Saturday’s victory against Al Ittihad.
Theo Hernandez is available again after starting at the weekend.
In-form forwards Ollie Watkins, Gabriel Martinelli and Crysencio Summerville should retain their places after all three scored on Saturday.
Verdict
Al Hilal have been excellent in the first weeks of the season, and an impressive forward line should take advantage of a leaky Al Sadd side.
I fancy an away win with at least two goals likely in Qatar.
