The Nassaji Mazandaran team will challenge the Al-Hilal team in a 2e ronde AFC Champions League in Azadi Stadium Stadium, Teheran on Tuesday, October 03, 2023. For streaming coverage of Nassaji Mazandaran vs Al-Hilal, preview and how to watch it, see in this article.
Nassaji Mazandaran will host defending champions Al-Hilal at the Azadi stadium in the second match of the Asian Cup group stage. This match will take place on Tuesday, October 3 this afternoon.
Nassaji Mazandaran impressed in the first match by winning 2-0 at home to Mumbai City. The victory made them at the top of the group standings with 3 points. This team from Iran hopes to continue their good performance and achieve positive results at home.
However, Nassaji Mazandaran will face a tough challenge from Al-Hilal, a team that has many world-class stars. Al-Hilal are two-time consecutive AFC Champions League champions and one of the strong candidates to defend the title. This team from Saudi Arabia has a terrible attack line with the presence of Neymar, a Brazilian striker who joined from PSG last summer.
Al-Hilal only drew 1-1 against Navbahor in the first match, but they are still in second place with 1 point. They want to make amends with a big win in this match and show their class as champions. Al-Hilal also want to take advantage of the very poor pitch conditions at the Azadi stadium, which could be an advantageous factor for them.
Several videos circulating on social media show stadium officials attaching thin strips of grass to a surface that looks like concrete. Al-Hilal star Neymar was shocked to see the video and commented on social media: “This is impossible”, accompanied by emoticons clapping his hands and laughing out loud.
Neymar will most likely start, but he must be careful with the risky field conditions. The Brazilian striker has reasons to be dissatisfied with his playing conditions, because he often suffers from injuries. Since joining Al Hilal, Neymar has provided 2 assists and has not scored a goal in 4 appearances in all competitions.
On the other hand, Nassaji Mazandaran will try to maintain their tight defense and rely on quick counter attacks. They also hope to get support from their fanatical supporters. Nassaji Mazandaran wanted to surprise and thwart Al-Hilal’s plans to achieve victory.
Looking at the composition and latest performance of the two teams, Al-Hilal is clearly more favored. They have just won all the last 2 games and haven’t conceded a goal. In fact, if you look further, Al-Hilal is unbeaten in 5 consecutive matches. With a terrible attack line and the presence of the very skilled Neymar, it was not difficult for Al-Hilal to penetrate Nassaji Mazandaran’s tight defense.
