Al Sadd host Al Hilal in the AFC Champions League Elite tonight. The two teams come from different leagues and different countries, but they arrive in very different shape. Al Sadd just thrashed their league opponents 4-1, while Al Hilal's recent win was a much tighter affair. Al Sadd's attack is red hot, scoring plenty in their last match, but their defence still shows gaps time and again. Al Hilal, meanwhile, keep winning steadily but no longer blow teams away as they once did, having to push hard until the closing stages to seal every game. If Al Sadd can attack from the start and not let Al Hilal dictate the tempo, this should turn into a back-and-forth contest in which the hosts can score on the counter throughout. It is unlikely to end as a one-sided result either way.
