Al-Hilal and Al-Ain… Rehabilitation

Al Hilal will host Al Ain in the third round of the elite AFC Champions League competition at Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium in the Emirati city of Al Ain at seven in the evening on Monday.
Al Hilal is looking forward to regaining its reputation from the loss against Al Ain during the last edition in the semi-finals and elimination at the hands of the Emirati team.
While Al Ain seeks to compensate for the defeat against Al Gharafa of Qatar in the last round 4-2 and repeat its victory over Al Hilal.
Al-Hilal rained five clean goals against the Iraqi Police when it hosted them in Riyadh during the second round.
The confrontation will witness the return of Brazilian Neymar da Silva to Al Hilal’s roster after a long period of absence due to an injury to the cruciate ligament, while the team’s goalkeeper, Yassin Bono, will be absent, with Mohammed Al Owais filling the gap.
On the other hand, Al Ain striker Kodjo Laba will stay away from the match due to a muscle injury.
History favors Al Hilal in direct confrontations, with it winning 9 times, compared to 7 victories for Al Ain and two draws. Al-Zaeem visited Al-Ain’s net on 26 occasions, while Al-Ain were satisfied with 20 goals.
Al Ain is considered to have the most possession of the ball in the Asian competition, at 64%, followed by Al Hilal, at 61%.
Salem Al-Dosari contributed five goals against Al-Ain by scoring a hat-trick and assisting two goals in 8 matches, as well as Al-Ain striker Sufyan Rahimi, who shares the record with Salem, but in only two matches.
The most important transfer between the two clubs was when retired striker Yasser Al-Qahtani moved from Al Hilal to Ain on loan during the 2011-2012 season. In the same season, former Romanian midfielder Mirel Radoi moved from Al Hilal to Al Ain for 4.20 million euros.
In addition to the transfer deal for Emirati star Omar Abdul Rahman, who is not linked to a club, from Al Hilal to Al Ain for free during the 2005-2006 season. Then he moved from Al Ain to Al Hilal for free in the 2018-2019 season.
In addition to the loan deal for former Al Hilal striker Nasser Al Shamrani to Al Ain during the 2016-2017 season.

While Al Ain comes third on the list in terms of the number of points, with a total of 200 points. It also comes fourth in terms of victories, with a total of 54 wins in 133 matches.
