Esteghlal finished 1st in Group C collecting 11 points against Al Duhail, Al Ahli SC and Al Shorta.

Meanwhile in the local league they finished 3rd losing also the Hazfi Cup against Foolad in the final. So not a successful season for the biggest team in Iran.

But from the Group stage they changed almost all the rooster. Around 12 players left but most important are 1st gk Mazaheri (27/0), def Naderi (32/3), mid Rigi (37/0), best scorer st Ghayedi (40/9), best scofer in ACL st Diabate (19/8), def Milic (19/1), mid Shojaein (22/0) and mid Esmaeili (32/6).

They also signed some interesting players like Iran international players def Aghasi from Foolad, talented mid Salmani from Portimonense, st Reza Azadi from Panteolikos and gk Razeai from Paykan.

Coach Majidi said that his team have some problems as their last game was 1 month ago.

“We came here despite so many difficulties and problems, but I want to say, to the fans of Esteghlal FC, that they can be sure that our players will play with all of their hearts today"

Al Hilal in other hand finished 2nd in Group A with 10 points against Istiqlol, Shabab Al Ahli and AGMK, qualified as best 2nd place.

They are one of the best teams in Asia but last years didn't played in this competition because of coronavirus problems.

So far in this start of Saudi Professional League they collected 7 points after 3 games.

Coach replaced with portuguese Leonardo Jardim. He is very experienced and win many titles in career.

Al Hilal lost only 2 players during transfer market st Bahebri (18/2) and st Giovinco (22/1). While signed st Matheus Pereira from West Brom scored 11 goals in Premier League, st Marega from Porto and def Al-Dawsari from Al Qadisiyah.

For this game foreigners st Vietto (3/0) and st Carrillo (3/0) didn't travelled with the team and are the only missings.

Game to be played in Dubai so no home advantage for Esteghlal. I think Al Hilal have more quality and a very good coach. Estgehlal is weakned a lot and don't have big results in ACL so far.

GL!

埃斯特格拉尔以11分的成绩排在C组第一，对手分别是阿尔杜哈伊尔、阿尔阿赫利SC和阿尔肖塔。

与此同时，在当地联赛中，他们在哈兹菲杯决赛中输给了傻瓜队，排名第三。所以，对于伊朗最大的球队来说，这并不是一个成功的赛季。

但从小组阶段开始，他们几乎改变了所有的公鸡。剩下大约12名球员，但最重要的是第一名马扎赫里(27/0)，def Naderi(32/3)，中后卫Rigi(37/0)，最佳得分手st Ghayedi (40/9)， ACL st Diabate最佳scofer (19/8)， def Milic(19/1)，中后卫Shojaein(22/0)和中后卫esmaeli(32/6)。

他们还签下了一些有趣的球员，比如伊朗国际球员福拉德的def Aghasi，波蒂莫内斯的天才中萨尔马尼，Panteolikos的st Reza Azadi和Paykan的gk Razeai。

马吉德教练说，他的球队有一些问题，因为他们的最后一场比赛是一个月前。

“尽管有这么多困难和问题，我们还是来到了这里，但我想对埃斯特格拉尔俱乐部的球迷们说，他们可以相信，我们的球员今天会全心全意地踢好比赛。”

另一方面，Al希拉勒以10分的成绩在A组排名第二，击败了Istiqlol、青年阿赫利和AGMK，获得最佳第二名。

他们是亚洲最好的球队之一，但去年因为冠状病毒问题没有参加这项比赛。

到目前为止，在沙特职业联赛的开局中，他们在三场比赛后拿到了7分。

教练被葡萄牙人列奥纳多·贾尔丁换下。他经验丰富，在职业生涯中赢得过许多冠军。

希拉勒在转会市场圣巴赫布里(18/2)和圣吉奥文科(22/1)只损失了2名球员。来自西布罗姆的佩雷拉在英超打进了11球，来自波尔图的圣马雷加和来自卡迪西亚的德夫·达萨里。

在这场比赛中，外援圣维埃托(3/0)和圣卡里略(3/0)没有随队出征，他们是唯一缺席的。

比赛将在迪拜进行，所以埃斯特格拉尔没有主场优势。我认为希拉勒有更强的素质和一个非常好的教练。埃斯特格拉尔被削弱了很多，到目前为止在亚冠中没有取得很大的成绩。

看好希拉尔赢球，竞彩选择负。
