Al-hilal – Esteghlal FC: Al-Hilal hosts Eesteghlal FC in a much awaited AFC Champions League game at Kingdom Arena on Monday, November 4, 2024. Al-Hilal, who sits top of the table with 25 points after nine games, comes into this game in outstanding form as the best side in the Saudi Arabian professional league.
Their will to recover in the continental level has been bolstered by their recent 1-1 loss with rivals Al Nassr, therefore ending a stunning 14-game winning run.
One of Iran’s most classic teams, Esteghlal FC, is 14th in the domestic league with only eight points and are having a challenging season. Financial and managerial issues the club is facing have had a major effect on its on-field performance, which has resulted in a run of bad results including a dismal 2-0 loss to Tractor in the Persian Gulf League.
Kick-Off Details

Players to Watch
Al-Hilal will depend much on Sergej Milinkovic-Savic as he can demonstrate his adaptability in the penalty area and provide goal-scoring possibilities. Among the game’s most crucial players are his physical presence and endurance.
Even with Esteghlal’s challenges, Didier Ndong is still a player to monitor. Renowned for his vision and quickness, Ndong can motivate Esteghlal particularly in change from defense to attack.
Head To head History
Four of the past eight meetings each side has won. Al-Hilal, however, emerged victorious in the previous meeting—a 2-0 round of 16 AFC Champions League triumph in September 2021.
