Al Rayyan begin their AFC campaign with one of the giants of the Saudi Pro League, Al Hilal, the highest owners of the AFC Champions League silverware. They have been stable against the rigours of the Stars Cup, maintaining composure against Al Arabi (1-0) and Al Shahaniya (3-0) whom they faced in a subsequent league fixture (4-2).

Al Rayyan has been uncompromising on their home turf in the last five games, as such, the fans pose slight confidence in their favorites who look prepared to give Al Hilal a good run for points in the tournament.

Roger Guedes is expected to help his team maintain solidity with his long balls, excellent finishing and consistency both from the left wing, and his poaching position. He is expected to repeat the brilliance demonstrated against Al Shananiya.

Heavily tipped as favourites against Al Rayyan, Al Hilal, who have been unbeaten in eight games across all competitions. They were breathtaking against Al Nassr, forcing a 4-1 scoreline at full-time. In their trail of victories, they have conquered Damac (3-2), Al Okhdood (3-0) and Al Riyadh (3-0). A win for Al Hilal would be an excellent addition to their running prestige, and a proper statement for further opponents who would be challenging them in future times.
