Venue: King Saud University Stadium (25000 seats)

It's advantage Al Hilal so far with their 1st position in the Pro League table, welcoming Al Shabab who are placed 7th.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

It's quite the trip for Al Shabab when visiting Hilal as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.

Hilal are already the Pro League winners and can relax with the season objective secured. If they do relax it might give the away team a slightly better chance in this one. For Shabab most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.
