Tactical Dilemma Strikes Jaissle Ahead of Al Hilal Match
Al-Ahli Saudi coach Matthias Jaissle is facing a complex situation ahead of the match against Al-Hilal Saudi in the semi-finals of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup.
The anticipated summit will be held at Al-Inma Stadium in Jeddah on Wednesday evening, in a match eagerly awaited by Saudi football fans.
Yaisle is weighing the options between the duo Ziad Al-Juhani and Enzo Melot to choose one of them for the midfield, alongside Franck Kessié and Valentin Atangana.
The final decision is expected to be made during the last technical meeting, which takes place just a few hours before the match begins.
On the other hand, the German coach has decided to play Zakaria Hawsawi in the left-back position, following confirmation of his physical readiness.
Hawsawi started the team's last match against Al-Qadsiah from the bench, in a game that ended with Al-Ahli losing 3-2 in the Saudi Professional League.
Al-Ahly reached this stage after overcoming Al-Qadisiyah in a penalty shootout following a 3-3 draw, while Al-Hilal qualified after a significant 4-1 victory over Al-Fateh Saudi.
This comparison remains one of the key factors of the encounter, given Al Ahly's desire to achieve victory and reach the final match.
