Al Hilal have performed well so far, being 1st spot in the table. Al Khaleej have a view both up and down from their 11th place.

Insights:
  • Al Hilal have the the best goal difference (+19) in Pro League
  • Al Hilal have scored more than double the goals of Al Khaleej.

This arena has grass, which is not Al Khaleej's everyday surface at their own pitch. When playing on grass Al Khaleej have performed like this: Played 25 matches with the output 9 wins, 6 draws and 10 defeats with the goal numbers 25-30 (scored/conceded).

It's quite the trip for Al Khaleej when visiting Al Hilal as the cities are 1100 kilometers apart.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Hilal, as their goalkeeper Yassine Bounou has completely shut out the opponents for 202 minutes in the Pro League.

Al Hilal are returning here after visiting Al Akhdoud and winning with a 3-0 scoreline. de Oliveira and Milinković-Savić (2) scored the goal(s).

Before that one, a fine away victory at Nassaji Mazandaran. A AFC Champions League game. It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Hilal have performed as huge favourites like they are today: 5 games found in the database showing 4 Al Hilal wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Al Hilal as they have a new game in only three days, a AFC Champions League match thankfully also at home. Mumbai City are visiting.
