Al Hilal will invite Nassaji to the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium in their final group stage of the AFC Champions League on Monday.
The hosts have enjoyed an unbeaten run in the competition thus far, winning four of their five games. They are at the top of the Group D standings with 13 points. In their previous outing, second-half goals from Malcom and Salem Aldawsari helped them register a 2-0 away win over Navbahor.
The visitors have two wins in five games thus far and are in third place currently. They cannot qualify for the knockout stage as they trail second-placed Navbahor by four points. They registered a 2-0 home win over Mumbai City last week and will look to sign off for the competition on a positive note.
Al Hilal made it 14 wins on the trot across all competitions on Friday, defeating Al Nassr 3-0 in a top-of-the-table Saudi Pro League clash, with Aleksandar Mitrović bagging a brace.
