Al Hilal vs Al Sadd prediction

Simone Inzaghi and his Al Hilal side have been impressive ever since they reached the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup last summer and they remain unbeaten throughout this campaign across all competitions after a 6-0 hammering of Al Kholood the other day.

Al Sadd managed to comfortably defeat Al Sailiya by three goals to one the other day with Akram Afif notching a brace and Roberto Firmino also scoring for the Qatar Stars League league leaders.

The winner of this tie will take on Vissel Kobe in the quarter-finals. This should be quite a good watch but, with home advantage, Al Hilal remain firm favourites.
