AFC Champions League Elite — this is a continental cup match that Al Shamal SC are playing at home, facing a team from Saudi Arabia, Al Hilal, who are in very hot form. Al Shamal SC in their own league: 7 matches, 2 won, 3 drawn, 2 lost, scoring 12, conceding 13. They are a team with enough going forward, but their defence has problems, partly from conceding late in games often. In this cup they have just drawn 0-0 at home before; their defence looks tighter when facing big teams. Meanwhile Al Hilal have won 5 in a row, scoring 30, conceding 9 in 10 matches. They are clearly the team that dominates possession and creates more chances, but their record of winning by two goals or more in the last 5 matches shows only one 2-0 win; the rest were narrow victories. This game is likely to play out with Al Hilal dominating the ball and attacking throughout, while Al Shamal SC sit deep and wait to counter. If the hosts can hold out until late in the game, the chance that Al Hilal edge a one-goal win or draw is high, because Al Shamal SC's defence in this cup looks tougher than in the league.
