Real Madrid vs. Al Hilal Preview

Real Madrid

Real has plenty of injured players, but that didn’t stop them from posting a solid performance in the previous round in Morocco. They beat the African champs, Al Ahly, 1-4, completely outplaying the rivals in the second 45 minutes and breaching their block.

The European champs struggled to find a crack in Al Ahly’s defense in the opening half, but after Vinicius Junior’s goal in the 42nd minute, everything was easier. Valverde shocked the opponents in the first minute after the break, and from that moment on Real was safe.

Los Blancos are less confident than in the past, with them failing to win two of the past three La Liga games. The injuries and absences have taken a toll, and up until the game versus the Egyptians, six in a row were with under 2.5 goals.

Al Hilal

The Blue Waves are the most successful Asian team, with four continental titles and four more finals. They aren’t as dominant as Real in Europe, but they are the biggest team in Asia.

Their head coach, Ramon Diaz, an Argentinian who is one of the most successful players and coaches in the history of River Plate, created a perfect tactic for the game against the Copa Libertadores’ winners, Flamengo. The Asians won that event, 3-2, in a fiery clash with plenty of rough tackles on both ends.

Previously, Al Hilal beat Wydad Casablanca in the quarterfinals but only following the penalties and 1-1 in the regular 90 minutes. This unit has just one defeat in the past 11 events, in the Saudi Arabia Super Cup finals. The biggest stars of this unit are Moussa Marega, Odion Ighalo, and Andre Carillo.
