Fluminense vs. Al Hilal best bet
Fluminense/Al Hilal over 2.5 goals (-105): Al Hilal is coming off a 4-3 thriller over Manchester City in the round of 16.
That offensive outburst is nothing new to the Saudi side. It leads the Saudi Pro League with 95 goals for. The next closest team has 80.
With that comes some defensive woes, however. Al Hilal has conceded more goals (41) than any other team in the top five.
Fluminense just upset Inter Milan in the round of 16 and scored two goals against one of the best defences in Europe this past season.
Either of these teams could break out for a few goals, with a back-and-forth contest also a strong possibility.
