Nasaf Qarshi vs Al-Hilal: Prediction for the Match on September 29, 2025

Al-Hilal face Nasaf Qarshi in the second match of the 2025-26 AFC Champions League Elite at Qarshi Arena, looking to build on their victory against Al-Duhail on matchday one. Nasaf lost to Al-Ahli on the opening matchday, and they are on the verge of taking on another Saudi team on Monday. 

Last season, Al-Hilal were knocked out of the AFC Champions League in the semifinals by Al-Ahli, who eventually won the prestigious competition. They started the new AFC Champions League campaign with a victory against Duhail on the opening matchday, and they must build on that momentum. Hilal remains our favorite team for the win. Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

🏠 Nasaf Qarshi: Form and Statistics

Nasaf Qarshi return to the AFC Champions League for the first time since the 2023/24 season, when their journey ended in the round of 16 at the hands of Al-Ain. This time, they arrive with confidence after emerging as Uzbekistan league champions last season. In the Uzbekistan Super League, they’ve been nothing short of impressive, sitting comfortably at the top with 15 wins, 7 draws, and just a single loss from 23 matches.

Their form has been red-hot in recent weeks. They defeated Xorazm 2-1 in their latest outing, extending their winning streak to five straight league victories. Nasaf Qarshi are not just here to make up the numbers; they’re ready to cause trouble, but they failed at it in the opening game against defending champions Al-Ahli. Norchaev got the first two goals of the game for Nasaf in the first half, but they were pegged and ultimately lost the game by 4 goals to 2. 

Nasaf Qarshi: Lineup

Ruzykul Berdyev will play his regular (4-4-2) diamond formation with Norchaev and Yusuf Otubanjo leading the attack. 

🔖 Nasaf Qarshi Probable starting lineup (4-4-2)

Nematov – Eshmurodov, Tursunov, Golban, Mukhammadiev – Colovic, Ceran, Mukhitdinov, Rahmatov – Otubanjo, Norchaev

Player to watch out for: Norchaev 

The forward scored twice in their AFC Champions League opener against Al-Ahli, and he might just pull another stunt against Hilal.  

⛔️ Out: None

👤 Head coach: Ruzykul Berdyev 

🏠 Al-Hilal: Form and Statistics

Form in the league: WWDWD

Simone Inzaghi’s side, fresh off a 3-1 thriller against Al-Akhdoud in their last league game, will be looking to build on their impressive start to the AFC Champions League season as they prepare to take on Nasaf Qarshi. Their opening game against Duhail was a cracker, but Hilal came out victorious with a 2-1 scoreline. 

Al-Hilal recorded a win in their AFC Champions League opener against Al-Duhail last week, Tuesday, with comeback second-half goals from new signings, Theo Hernandez and Darwin Nunez, being enough to give the Blue Waves their first AFC victory of the season. 

Al-Hilal started the new season on a good note with a 2-0 victory against Al-Riyadh, with goals from Malcom and Moteb Al-Harbi. They settled for a stalemate against Al-Qadisiyah in their second game of the season (2-2), before eventually drawing (3-3) with Al-Ahli in their third league game. 

Al-Hilal: Lineup

Darwin Nunez, who just joined from Liverpool, has settled in quickly as he already scored two goals for Hilal, one in the league and another in the AFC Champions League. Theo Hernandez also joined from AC Milan, and he has since scored twice for Al-Hilal, with a goal in their last league game against Al-Akhdoud.  

Joao Cancelo is still doubtful for this crucial encounter, and Simone Inzaghi might have to move on without him. 

Player to watch out for: Darwin Nunez

The Liverpool forward has settled in quickly with two goals already to his name this season. We tip him for another potential goal on Monday.

🔖 Al-Hilal Probable starting lineup (4-3-3)

Bono – Hamad Al-Yami, Koulibaly, Hernandez, Al-Tambakti – Neves, Milinkovic-Savic, Nasser Al-Dawsari – Malcom, Salem Al-Dawsari, Darwin Nunez

👤 Head coach: Simeone Inzaghi
