Al Sadd's bid to advance to the knockout stage for the first time in four seasons has been progressing smoothly with the 2011 AFC Champions League™ winners sitting fourth on eight points behind a trio of clubs from Saudi Arabia.

While Al Sadd are unbeaten in six matches on the continental stage - stretching back to last season - they have only won three of their 12 previous meetings with Al Hilal, who have five victories under their belt.

Al Hilal will be aiming to make a statement after their unbeaten run in the Saudi Pro League was ended by Al Khaleej on Saturday.

The four-time hampions will, however, be wary of Al Sadd's threat with the Qatar side having won their most recent meeting in the 2019 edition of the AFC Champions League.

However, their form - on the domestic and continental stages - has been scintillating and with a squad laden with attacking talent, Al Hilal will be confident of extending their perfect record.

Venue: Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium (Doha)

Kick-off: Tuesday, 19:00 (UTC+3)
