The winner of the elite AFC Champions League group Al Hilal will travel to Pakhtakor Tashkent to begin their journey in the knockout phase of the competition.
Al Hilal were the best team in the group stage and finished top of the group unbeaten (7 wins and 1 draw). Pakhtakor, on the other hand, advanced to the play-off round with a win on the final matchday, when they defeated Al Sadd 2-1 at their own stadium.
Pakhtakor - Al Hilal Betting Tips: Al Hilal to Win
Al Hilal finished top of the AFC Champions League Elite group and are the clear favourites to advance to the next round of the knockout stage. They have been in great form in the AFC Champions League this season, winning four of their last five matches and drawing one, going through the entire group stage without a single loss.
Pakhtakor, on the other hand, have won just once in the eight matches they played in the group stage and barely qualified for the playoff round, ending up in eighth place. We predict a win for Al Hilal.
