Al-Hilal will return to AFC Champions League action on Monday, facing Iranian side Esteghlal at the KINGDOM ARENA.
Al-Hilal extended their unbeaten streak to 16 games this season following a draw with Al-Nassr, though it did put an end to their impressive 14-game winning streak. Jorge Jesus' squad will look to get back to winning form as they play in front of their home crowd.
On the other hand, Esteghlal kicked off their continental campaign with a solid 3-0 victory over Al Gharafa on matchday one. However, the Blue Boys have struggled since, suffering back-to-back defeats in their recent outings.
