📋 Team News: Al-Sadd

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the lone fitness concern for the Al-Sadd boss Roberto Mancini to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed set of players. Giovani (unknown injury) is out of contention.

📋 Team News: Al-Hilal

Al-Hilal boss Simone Inzaghi has multiple availability issues to deal with. Hamad Al-Yami (Knee injury), Rúben Neves (Muscle injury), Karim Benzema (Adductor injury) and Nasser Al-Dawsari (Toe injury) will not be playing here.

🧠 Prediction

In this game, Al-Sadd have enough to breach the defence of this Al-Hilal team, although one goal may not quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

Our selection here is for both teams to score in a 1-2 winning margin for Al-Hilal when the full-time whistle blows. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
