Navbahor Predicted Lineup (4-5-1):
Yusupov(GK), Golban, Ivanovic, Milovic, Yoldoshev, Dokic, Boltaboev, Ismailov, Iskanderov, Urunov, Abdukholiqov
Al-Hilal Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1):
Bono(GK), Abdulhamid, Koulibaly, Tambakti, Shahrani, Kanno, Al Dawasari, Michael, Malcom, S.Al-Dawsari, Mitrovic
Navbahor faces a challenging situation with key players injured and others at risk of suspension. The absence of both right-backs, Davron and Jurabekov, due to injuries could pose a defensive challenge for them. Additionally, the potential suspensions of Boltaboev, Ibrokhim, and Doniyor may limit the options for the coach in terms of player selection and tactics.
On the other hand, Al-Hilal seems to be in a more favorable position with only Neymar missing due to injury. Their squad is otherwise fully available, which gives them a significant advantage in terms of squad depth and flexibility in strategy.
Navbahor's recent historic draw against a strong side away from home could boost their confidence, but facing a team like Al-Hilal, especially without some key players, will still be a tough task. Al-Hilal's fine form and the absence of only one player, albeit a big star like Neymar, indicate that they are likely to be the favorites in this encounter.
It will be interesting to see how Navbahor adapts to the challenges and whether they can secure a positive result against the Asian giants. The match could hinge on how well Navbahor's remaining players perform and if they can exploit any weaknesses in Al-Hilal's lineup.
