Match details: kickoff time, venue and lineup preview
Kickoff is 20:30 in Saudi Arabia and 21:30 in the UAE, with the game staged at Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium. Hilal approaches the match keeping an eye on the league table, currently second with 29 points, two behind the leaders, while Damac sits in the lower mid-table with nine points. Projected lineups for Hilal in a 4-3-3 system include a goalkeeper, a backline of four, a trio in the middle, and a front three featuring prolific attackers—Malcolm, Leonardo, and Darwin Nunez—supported by a central midfield trio that looks to both build and press, while Damac aims to disrupt with their own structure. Expect a tactical duel, with set-pieces potentially deciding the outcome and a high-stakes atmosphere as both teams chase different goals on the night.
Two light-hearted notes to close: if football were a stealth mission, the right pass would be your well-timed punchline—the defense would never see it coming. And if you’re watching, remember: the scoreboard is the only referee that matters, and it doesn’t accept excuses from excuses either.
