Al-Sharjah are in a spot of bother this season. Their league form in the UAE Pro League has been poor, languishing near the bottom with just two wins from eight matches. Their AFC Champions League Elite campaign isn't much better, managing only two wins and a draw in five games, with a worrying goal difference of -6. Their defence has been particularly leaky, conceding an average of four goals per home game in the competition. Recent form doesn't inspire confidence either, with only one win in their last nine matches across all competitions. Facing a high-flying Al-Hilal, they're likely to struggle. Al-Hilal, on the other hand, are in top form. They're near the top of the Saudi Pro League and have a perfect record in the AFC Champions League Elite, winning all five games to secure their spot in the next round. They're on a sensational 14-game winning streak across all competitions! With star players like Marcos Leonardo, Sergej Milinković-Savić, and Darwin Núñez leading the attack, they boast the competition's most potent attack, scoring 14 goals. Expect Al-Hilal to continue their winning run.
