Team News: Al-Hilal
There’s just a single fitness concern for the Al-Hilal manager Jorge Jesus to contend with due to a largely intact group. João Cancelo (unknown injury) is sidelined.

Prediction
In our opinion, Al-Ahli Saudi have it in them to find the back of the net against this Al-Hilal side, although that might not be enough to prevent defeat.
We’re expecting a 2-1 winning margin for Al-Hilal after 90 minutes. Could easily see this go either way.
