Al Hilal and Al Sadd will battle for three points in an AFC Champions League Elite fixture on Tuesday (October 21st). The game will be played at the Kingdom Arena.
The home side will be looking to build on the comfortable 5-0 thrashing they handed away to Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League over the weekend. They were 2-0 up at the break, with Marcos Leonardo breaking the deadlock in the 23rd minute while Darwin Nunez doubled their lead in the 39th. Ruben Neves made it 3-0 from the spot three minutes into the second half before Leonardo and Nunez completed their braces.
Al Sadd, meanwhile, suffered a shock 5-0 thrashing at home to Umm-Salal in the Qatari Stars Cup. They were one goal down at the break and a second half collapse saw them concede four more.
