Al Hilal get ready to host Al Riyadh for another entertaining Pro League game here at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium.

Insights:
  • Al Hilal have not yet lost a game.
  • Al Riyadh have the fewest scored goals in the second half (0) in Pro League

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

This could be an engrossing fixture with lots of fun and bustle as both contenders are well revitalized since they last saw competitive action. Let's start!

Al Hilal form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Al Hilal's two home games in the Pro League so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium.

It's back home for Al Hilal, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Al Ittihad away with the result 4-3. Dawsari and Mitrović found the net in that victory. An impressive turnaround for Hilal in the match against Al Ittihad as a 1-3 deficit was completely turned around to a 4-3 win. Dawsari scored the final goal. Mitrović was absolutely essential when Al Hilal beat Al Ittihad 4-3, scoring three goals.

Before that, Al Hilal had a home game versus Al Ittifaq which ended with a victory 2-0.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the AFC Champions League game versus Navbahor in only three days. This game is also played here at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium.

At Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium, Al Hilal has the goal stats of 3-1 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Al Riyadh form and stats

The Pro League season is young and Al Riyadh have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.

Riyadh aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 325 league minutes without a goal. Abbas was the last player to find the net.

Al Riyadh might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Al Akhdoud proved too strong as Al Riyadh slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Prince Turki bin Abdul Aziz Stadium.

Prior to that match, the Riyadh manager Ferrera faced defeat when travelling to Al Raed and losing 0-3.

Nobody expects Al Riyadh to collect anything from a game like this. The team has been David versus Goliath 29 times before, with the overall statistics of won 11, draw 7 and lost 11. When defeated, 5 matches have been lost by two or more goals.

Al Riyadh have the goal stats of 2-5 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
