If their fine form isn't enough for them to register a fifth consecutive win, Al Hilal will go into the tie having triumphed in each of their three meetings with Al Shorta, keeping clean sheets in the last two.

A fifth victory will also see four-time Asian champions Al Hilal setting a new milestone - surpassing their previous longest winning streak of four on the continental stage.

On the other hand, Al Shorta have won just one of their 10 meetings against sides from Saudi Arabia.

They have really struggled on the continental stage, losing their last three matches and defensive resilience will be needed if they are to take something from the tie.

Al Hilal SFC (KSA) v Al Shorta (IRQ)
Venue: Kingdom Arena (Riyadh)
Kick-off: Tuesday, 21:15 (UTC+3)
