Al Ittihad will face the upcoming match without N'Golo Kante, who received a straight red card during the second half last Tuesday. Additionally, there are concerns about the fitness of fellow Frenchman Karim Benzema, who may be dealing with an injury.
Ahmed Bamsaud, Ahmed Sharahili, and Abdullah Al-Jadaani are all set to miss this encounter due to cruciate ligament tears.
Al-Ittihad predicted XI: Al-Mayouf; Al-Olayan, Al Mousa, Hegazi, Kadesh; Al-Sahafi, Al-Ghamdi, Fabinho, Hawsawi; Romarinho, Hamdallah.
Neymar continues to be sidelined for Al-Hilal with a cruciate ligament tear. Meanwhile, Kalidou Koulibaly made his debut appearance in the knockout stage, featuring in a back four alongside Saud Abdulhamid, Ali Al-Bulaihi, and Yasser Al-Shahrani.
Al Hilal predicted XI: Al-Owais; Abdulhamid, Koulibaly, Al-Bulaihi, N. Al-Dawsari; Al-Qahtani, Neves, Al-Faraj; Malcom, Mitrovic, S. Al-Dawsari.
The two sides met in Riyadh last week, and first-half goals from Aleksandar Mitrović and Salem Aldawsari helped Al Hilal register a 2-0 home win. Interestingly, this will be the third meeting between them in 12 days, with the visitors recording home wins in the two games thus far.
The hosts met Al Akhdoud in the Saudi Pro League on Friday, recording a 2-1 win, with Saad Muhammad Misfer Al Mosa scoring in the 45th minute and Talal Haji scoring the match-winner in the 83rd minute after Akhdoud equalized in the 63rd minute.
The visitors extended their winning run across all competitions to 27 games on Friday. Second-half goals from Rúben Neves, Michael, and Aleksandar Mitrović helped them record a comeback 3-1 away win over local rivals Al Riyadh in the Saudi Pro League.
Nadi Al-Watan returned to winning ways after two back-to-back losses on Friday and will look to continue that form. They have won their last four home games in all competitions, scoring eight goals while conceding just three times. Nonetheless, they have just one win in their last 10 meetings against the capital club, which is cause for concern.
Abdullah Al-Mayouf, Hassan Kadesh, Zakaria Hawsawi, and Karim Benzema missed their league meeting against Al Akhdoud due to injuries, and their involvement in this match is doubtful. N'Golo Kanté was sent off in the first leg and will serve a suspension.
Al-Za'eem are on a 27-game winning streak across all competitions. They have scored three goals apiece in five of their seven games in 2024 and are expected to enjoy a prolific outing in this match.
They have conceded just three goals in their last 12 away games. Salem Al Dawsari was rested in the league match against Al Riyadh due to a knee injury and faces a late fitness test.
Nadi Al-Sha’ab face a tough challenge in the AFC Champions League, needing a two-goal victory to keep their semi-final hopes alive. Despite a perfect home record in 2024, Al Ittihad have struggled in knockout ties when trailing after the first leg. However, their historical success against Al-Hilal at home provides a glimmer of hope.
On the other hand, Al-Hilal are dominating in 2024, winning all their matches and maintaining a flawless away record in the Champions League. While they occasionally concede early goals, their overall strength and past knockout success make them formidable opponents. They’ve already defeated Al Ittihad twice this month, extending their winning streak against them away from home.
Hamdallah is acclaimed as an unstoppable phenomenon and is renowned for his prolific goal-scoring effectiveness. As a highly technical player, he exhibits exceptional movement, heading technique, and lethal finishing skills.
Hamdallah is versatile, capable of scoring with both feet, and possesses vision that enables him to provide assists. He is affectionately nicknamed the Executioner due to his remarkable ability to find the back of the net.
Aleksandar Mitrovic embodies the characteristics of a traditional and powerful striker, demonstrating proficiency in retaining possession with his back to the goal and strategically positioning himself in areas conducive to scoring.
Despite being widely recognized for his dominance in aerial duels, attributed to his physical strength and height, Mitrovic’s intelligence in generating scoring chances in the penalty area is frequently underrated. He leads the scoring in the AFC Champions League.
A-Hilal is making history. The team coached by Jorge Jesus comes from 30 consecutive victories and 38 matches without losing in a row. The club broke a world record. Furthermore, Al-Hilal have won all of their last four matches over Al-Ittihad and are unbeaten in nine games. The only absence from Jorge Jesus' team is Neymar, who is recovering from a knee injury. Renan Lodi, in turn, should start the match on the bench and Khalifah Al-Dawsari takes the position.
Al-Ittihad is coming off a 2-1 victory over Al-Akhdoud, last Friday. The Argentine coach has problems putting together the team. Midfielder Kanté was sent off in the first game and will not be available this Tuesday. Benzema is still absent due to chronic back pain. In the last five games, Al-Ittihad scored an average of 2.5 goals in four matches. Furthermore, in four of the last five games, the team coached by Marcelo Gallardo scored and conceded goals.
