ACL 2017 MD2 - Group D: Al Hilal v Al Rayyan preview

Riyadh: Al Hilal and Al Rayyan will go head to head in Group D of the 2017 AFC Champions League on Tuesday at Prince Faisal Bin Fahd Stadium with the two sides looking to maintain their unbeaten start on the continent.

Brazilian Carlos Eduardo netted with eight minutes remaining as Al Hilal secured a 1-1 draw with Persepolis in their opening game of the tournament after falling behind midway through the second half.

Al Rayyan, meanwhile, ran out 2-1 victors over Al Wahda in their first match of the campaign as goals from South American duo Gonzalo Viera and Victor Caceres ensured a win on their return to the competition, before the Doha-based team then lost by the same scoreline to Al Gharafa in the Qatar Stars League on Saturday.
