ACL 2017 Rd of 16 - 2nd Leg: Al Hilal v Esteghlal Khouzestan preview

Second-half goals from Abdulla Al Dossary and Carlos Eduardo saw Al Hilal come from a goal down to claim a 2-1 victory in the first-leg to make the Riyadh-based team firm favourites to advance ahead of the clash at Thani Bin Jassim Stadium.

Esteghlal Khouzestan must score at least two to have any chance of making the last eight, something they have failed to do in seven matches on the continent.

Abdullah Otayf returns from suspension for Al Hilal, whose impressive form to date has seen them win four and draw three of their seven fixtures in this year’s competition.
