The two teams met in the reverse fixture at the King Fahd International Stadium last month. Al Hilal recorded an emphatic 6-0 win as they maintained their unbeaten start to the campaign. Aleksandar Mitrović bagged a hat-trick while Mohammed Alburayk, Sergej Milinković-Savić, and Abdulelah Almalki added goals in the second half.
The home team are unbeaten in their two games since that defeat and returned to winning ways with a 2-0 home triumph over Punjab on Thursday. Greg Stewart and Jorge Pereyra Díaz scored late in the game to record a comeback win.
The visitors have won three games on the trot since their win in the reverse fixture, extending their winning run in all competitions to nine games.
