At 9:00pm ET, my selection is on Manchester City. There is a very clear class distinction between these clubs. Manchester City is among the best teams on the planet and Al Hilal is not. This will quickly become apparent when the teams collide at Camping World Stadium in Orlando. In each of yesterday's Round of 16 matches, the superior team won by at least 2 goals. City was the only team in the group stage to have a perfect 3-0 record and the full nine points, outscoring opponents by a combined 13-2 score. While Man. City was scoring 13 goals in its 3 group stage matches, Al Hilal managed only 3. Al Hilal was already outmatched but playing without captain Al-Dawsari reduces its chances even further. Man City will get up early and Al Hilal won't be able to match. City controls play and wins in a one-sided match. Play on Manchester City.
