Al Hilal are one of the three Saudi sides in the AFC Champions League quarter-final. They will be outright favorites when they host Gwangju on Friday. The winner from this faces Al Ahli or Buriram United next, and below is our prediction of the match.
This break for continental action will be very welcome for Al Hilal, who are struggling in their league title defence. After 29 matches in the Saudi Pro League, Al Hilal trail Al Ittihad by six points.
Their season wasn’t aided by their 2-2 draw with Al Shabab on Monday. Al Hilal come here having won once in four matches.
In the East side during the League Stage, Gwangju finished with 14 points from their seven matches. They managed to book their slot after ranking fourth.
That was eight points less than Al Hilal, who topped the West, finishing unbeaten. In terms of recent form, though, Gwangju will head into this game the more confident. They have two straight wins in domestic action and have lost only once in the last six matches.
The Korean side, however, hasn’t enjoyed things so much on the road, with only one win in 10 away matches. Their last three away matches in the Champions League ended winless, losing twice.
