Odion Ighalo will lead Saudi Arabia Professional Football League champions Al Hilal to victory when they face Urawa Red Diamonds of Japan.
On Saturday (today), the first leg match is scheduled to take place at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh.
Ighalo has seven goals this season for the Blue Waves in the league.
He will pose a constant threat to the Urawa defence with his strength, speed, and clinical finishing.
Only Al Duhail’s Edmilson Junior has scored more goals (eight) than the Nigerian in the competition this season.
The 33-year-old also has a chance to win his second title with Ramon Diaz’s side.
Ighalo won the Saudi Arabia Professional Football League title with the club last season.
Al Hilal have won the Asian Champions League title twice in the past.
