Al-Hilal and Wydad will meet in the Arab Club Champions Cup match on Thursday at the Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Sports City.
Al-Hilal held Al-Ahli to a goalless draw in the first group game of the tournament. Michael Oliveira and Salem Al Dawsari were on the scoresheet for the team's second game but the end result was a 2-3 defeat against Al-Sadd. Their opponents Wydad are winless in three games in July and will be looking to bounce back to winning ways.
The match is expected to be a close contest, with both teams having a lot to play for. Al-Hilal will be the slight favorites, but Wydad will be determined to cause an upset.
