He said on TimesLIVE: “Set pieces are always the order of the day against a team like Al-Hilal.
“We have done a very intensive study on Al-Hilal. We have watched a lot of their matches against Al-Merrikh and even gone back to the matches we played against them in Sudan and here in SA last season.
“Their team has not changed that much. We know we are playing against a team that is very robust and aerially very strong with tall centre backs, tall midfielders and a tall number 10,” Mngqithi concluded.
