Bet Builder Tip For Fluminense vs Al Hilal Riyadh

As Fluminense and Al-Hilal prepare to face off in Orlando’s Camping World Stadium, Friday night’s quarter-final clash offers more than just a place in the final four — it presents serious value for punters willing to trust a well-built bet builder. Both teams arrive off the back of seismic wins over European opposition, with Al-Hilal shocking Manchester City and Fluminense dispatching Inter Milan.

The betting opportunity? Each leg is backed by strong statistical and tactical reasoning, and when combined, this punt presents an exciting angle at generous odds.

Here’s our Bet Builder pick for Fluminense vs Al Hilal Riyadh, which has been placed with William Hill:

🥅 Marcos Leonardo To Score Anytime

Al-Hilal’s emerging talisman has firmly stamped his name on this tournament. In the absence of Aleksandar Mitrovic, Marcos Leonardo has taken the responsibility of leading the line — and delivered with clinical precision. The former Santos striker has notched three goals in his last two matches, including a crucial strike in extra time against Manchester City. His confidence is sky-high, and his sharp movement inside the box has made him a constant menace.

What makes Leonardo’s goal threat even more significant is how efficiently Al-Hilal use their limited chances. Against City, they had just six shots on target but converted four — an extraordinary return against a top-tier defence. Leonardo’s ability to operate in tight spaces, exploit defensive lapses, and find half a yard to shoot makes him the most likely source of a goal in this fixture.

Moreover, Fluminense’s backline may appear resilient on paper, but they’ve had to endure spells of intense pressure, particularly late on. Marcos Leonardo thrives in those chaotic moments. With Al-Hilal likely to counter at pace and stretch the game in the second half, Leonardo should find the sort of opportunities he craves.

🏆 Al-Hilal To Win (90 Mins)

The Saudi champions arrive at this tie as slight underdogs, but the form guide and momentum suggest they’re primed to cause another upset. Their victory over Manchester City wasn’t a fluke — it was the culmination of disciplined defence, explosive counter-attacking, and moments of genuine quality. Al-Hilal are now unbeaten in nine games across all competitions, a run that includes draws against Real Madrid and victory over the Premier League champions.

Simone Inzaghi’s side have proven they can go toe-to-toe with any opponent, even when out of possession. They faced 30 shots against City, but goalkeeper Yassine Bounou — saving 10 of 13 shots on target — kept them in the game. That combination of defensive resilience and attacking efficiency has made Al-Hilal a serious threat.

Fluminense, by contrast, may be entering this clash on a high, but their approach is largely dependent on control and late surges. While they’ve managed five clean sheets in their last six, they have yet to face an opponent that transitions with the speed and precision of Al-Hilal. With their backline missing key figures through suspension and youth in their midfield, they could be vulnerable if the game turns chaotic.

Given the Blue Waves’ growing belief, strong tactical identity, and cutting edge in attack, backing Al-Hilal to win in normal time offers significant value.

⚽ Both Teams To Score (90 Mins)

While Al-Hilal’s defence stood firm in extra time against City, they are not invulnerable. Their performance in that match highlighted an important trend: they’re often willing to sacrifice territory and possession, which leaves them exposed during prolonged spells. City managed 14 shots on target, and Fluminense — who scored four of their six tournament goals after the 75th minute — are more than capable of capitalising late on.

Jhon Arias is the key creative spark for the Brazilians, topping his team’s metrics in shots, chances created, dribbles, and possession regained. Alongside veteran striker Germán Cano, Fluminense have the tools to punish lapses — especially as legs tire and the match opens up.

Al-Hilal have also kept only one clean sheet in their last four and tend to play high-risk football when chasing the game. Their aggressive transitions and fast-paced breaks usually leave space behind, and Fluminense have shown they can take advantage when given a sniff.

Both teams have found the net in three of their last four games each, and with attacking intent on both sides, it’s hard to see this one staying goalless at either end.
