Al Hilal is set to clash with Al Sadd in the AFC Champions League, with coach Simone Inzaghi making key changes to tackle attacking issues. Crysencio Summerville’s suspension has led to Sultan Mandash starting on the right wing, allowing Gabriel Martinelli to shift back to the left. Theo Hernandez misses the game, with Mutaib Al Harbi stepping in, while Sergej Milinkovic-Savic returns from injury to bolster the midfield. Al Hilal, currently fifth in the group, is aiming for a win, whereas Al Sadd sits near the bottom, still seeking their first victory.
