Riyadh Crescent looked to continue their winning momentum from their last match, thrashing Al Riyadh 6-1 in the Pro League. Neymar came on as a substitute for half an hour and orchestrated four goals in Riyadh Crescent's 6-1 win. For Riyadh Crescent, of the 7 foreigners this year, 5 were bought in from La Liga, plus Neymar and top star Malcolm, Riyadh Crescent's star configuration is even fiercer than Crow's Riyadh Victory, but the AFC Champions League, after all, can only play 5 non-Asian foreigners, and is not a complete body. Compared to last weekend's Saudi Arabia League chopping and slashing, we need to pay attention to this: many weak teams in the Saudi Arabia League know they can't beat it, but still boldly attack, and today's face Uzbekistan team is a completely different situation. In that game, Aleksandar Mitrovic (30'), Yasser Shahrani (45'), Nasser Al-Dawsari (68'), Malcolm (83') and Salem Al-Dawsari (87 ', 90') scored for Riyadh Crescent.
The Riyadh Crescent attack has been potent of late, scoring a total of 20 goals in their last six games. In those games, Riyadh Crescent also conceded a total of six goals. Of course, that won't necessarily continue in this match.
Today's away team may not be familiar to you, Namangan was the runner-up in the Uzbekistan league last year, which was their highest league ranking in recent years, and their first time to participate in the AFC Champions League in recent years. But their defense was very tough both last year and this year, only conceding 15 goals in 26 league games last year. Head coach Baba Yang once coached the Uzbek national team, and when he was coaching at Changchun Yatai in the Central League, the defense was also very well organized, and today, facing the absolute price difference, the away side will surely set up a good bus.
SCORE PREDICTION: In our opinion, Riyadh Crescent should be able to score at least one goal against Namangan, who are not prone to scoring goals. Therefore, we expect Riyadh Crescent to win comfortably with a score of 2-0 when the referee blows the final whistle.
