TEHRAN (Tasnim)- Iran's Sepahan football team coach Zlatko Kranjcar believes his team is well-prepared to defeat Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia.



Sepahan is to host Al Hilal on Wednesday in Isfahan’s Foolad Shahr Stadium in Group D of the AFC Champions League.

“Al Hilal is one of the best Asian teams and I know the team is under pressure after they were held a 2-2 draw against Al Ahli in their home game,” Kranjcar said in the pre-match news conference.

“Sepahan lost its first match against Al Sadd but at the moment we are ready to defeat Al Hilal. However we know Al Hilal is a strong team,” the Croat added.

“Al Hilal looks vulnerable at the back but the team is strong in the counter attack,” Kranjcar added.
