The Sudanese giants continue to thrive against all odds as they head here with three consecutive wins in the group. Recently, Al Hilal stunned MC Alger on their home turf, as Guessouma Fofana's only goal secured them the maximum in Algeria.

Expert Betting Tips
The reverse leg saw more of MC Alger, who were in control of the game, creating chances upon chances and failing to score. They were stunned by the guests who played their game right and defended their lead like their lives depended on it.
MC Alger have been slightly above average compared to their nearly perfect run last campaign. MC Alger have been shy in front of goal, scoring twice in their previous three games in the group. They’ll face off against a team who can be dangerous on their days and we will not take the host for granted.
I personally think MC Alger are better, but Al Hilal are a very organized team, and they always get the job done regardless of who is in control of the game. Just like the reverse leg, I expect a game of few chances, with the hosts securing a point at least here for 1.85
I expect Al Hilal to do better this time and probably get a win here for 3.10.
I expect a caution at the break with both teams protecting their box, while the second half might witness more goals.
Good luck!
