AFC Champions League Elite - Preview: Al Hilal SFC (KSA) v Al Sadd SC (QAT)

Riyadh: Al Hilal SFC will expect to stay on the winning ways when they face Al Sadd SC in the AFC Champions League Elite™ 2025/26 on Tuesday.

The four-time Asian champions are the only side in the West Zone with a perfect record while Al Sadd opened their campaign with two draws.

Al Hilal will take to the pitch with confidence as they are unbeaten in each of their last 13 home games in the AFC Champions League Elite - with the last 11 being wins.

Victory on Tuesday will mean the outright longest winning streak by any side at home in the competition, a record currently shared with Japan's Yokohama F. Marinos.

Al Hilal, however, are winless in their last two meetings with Al Sadd but did beat the Qatari champions in the two matches prior to that.

Al Sadd's slow start to the season led to the departure of head coach Felix Sanchez, with the Spaniard's compatriot Sergio Alegre taking charge on an interim basis.

Alegre couldn't have picked a tougher match to start his tenure but if Al Sadd do register a win, it could well spark a turnaround in their fortunes.
