The team’s depth of players should allow them to field a formidable starting lineup even though they may be missing a few key players owing to minor injuries. Aymeric Laporte and Marcelo Brozović, two recent additions to the squad, are also expected to play a part in enhancing the team’s quality.
Al Hilal Team News
Al Hilal, however, will be motivated to maintain their superiority over their opponents. They will be a tough opponent because they have well-known players like Neymar Jr. and Sergej Milinković-Savić in their ranks.
