Competition: Saudi Arabia Pro League
Competition: Thu 11.March
Match begins: 16:05 (UTC)
Venue: King Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium

The visiting Al Hilal side should be favourites in this visit to Al Wahda, as the away team holds a 12 point advantage from their 21 league games this season.

Insights:
  • Al Wahda have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Al Hilal have the fewest conceded goals (17) in Pro League

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!

These teams have little in common geographically as Al Hilal have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Al Wahda form and stats

With 3 Pro League wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats from their home games, Al Wahda are certainly not brimming with confidence. Game days at King Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Wahda as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Stress levels are on the rise for Wahda's attacking players as they have now played 180 minutes without scoring in a league game. Hernâni was their last goal scorer.

Al Wahda shared the glory with Al Ittihad in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at Al Batin.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Al Wahda, as the Pro League home game vs Abha is only four days away.

Wahda have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at King Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium with 15 goals in 10 league matches. Al Wahda have conceded 21 goals in these home games, a significant number.
