Al Ahli Tripoli vs Al Hilal Prediction: The Blue Waves will start the competition with a convincing victory here

The Arab Club Championship Cup, which consists of top teams from the Northern African and Asian League, will kick off in Saudi Arabia. On Thursday, Al Ahli Tripoli of Libya will square off against Al Hilal at the Prince Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium.

The Fleisha Boys are one of the top teams in the Libyan Premier League, having won it thirteen times and head here as the current champions. After knocking out El Gaish and Al Nahda in the qualifying round, Al Ahli were paired with top teams like Wydad Casablanca, Al Hilal and Al Sadd. The Libyan giant are unbeaten in their last eighteen games and have scored thirty goals. Al Ahli Tripoli lack pedigree in this tournament, and they might be one of the lowest-ranked sides in the competition. Al Ahli Tripoli will hope to go far in this competition, but it’ll be difficult as they’re set to compete with top teams from different regions.

The two-time Arab Club Championship Cup winners head here with the sole aim of claiming the title. Even though they’ve won the title twice (1994,1995), the closest they’ve come of late is a runner-up finish with Etoile du Sahel in 2019.

Al Hilal failed to retain the Saudi Arabia Professional League title when they finished in third spot last season. Al Hilal have since then made some significant changes to their squad, adding Ruben Neves, Milankovic Savic and Koulibaly, to mention a few to their team. It will be interesting to see how their new stars fit into the system, as we expect them to win the trophy this time.

Al Hilal have been a great side in this competition and have won it twice, with a second-place finish in 2019. They’ve got some serious players in their cart, and they play on their home soil. On the other hand, Al Ahli Tripoli team are mostly dominated by Libyan players and lack the required experience to compete with other teams in this competition. With Milankovic Savic and Ruben Neves in the midfield for Al Hilal, while Moussa Marega operates as the frontman, we expect Al Hilal to win and score more than once for 1.69.

Al Ahli Tripoli have been unbeaten over their last nineteen games, but we can’t see them getting past their opponent’s defence; bet on BTTS no for 1.77.

We expect the visitors to score in both halves for 1.95.

Good luck!
