Al-Hilal

WWWWLW

Al-Hilal, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 2-1 AFC Champions League triumph over Al-Ain.

For Al-Hilal, the goals were scored by Rúben Neves (4') and Salem Al Dawsari (51'). Erik (12') scored for Al-Ain.

Al-Hilal have been conceding pretty frequently recently, although they have also found ways to hit the back of the net themselves. Over their last 6 matches, Al-Hilal have been punished defensively in 5 of them as well as managing to get on the scoresheet in 6 of those matches.

Al-Fateh

LLWWLW

Al-Fateh will come into the match after a 3-1 Professional League win in the defeat of Al-Raed in their most recent outing.

In that match, Al-Fateh managed 63% possession and 15 shots at goal with 7 of them on target. The scorer for Al-Fateh was Lucas Zelarayán (12'). At the other end, Al-Raed had 10 attempts at goal with 2 on target. Julio Tavarès (56') was the scorer for Al-Raed.

Al-Fateh have seen success in front of goal in their most recent fixtures, scoring 11 times in their previous 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that Al-Fateh have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 5 of those same outings. Nonetheless, we will just have to wait and see whether such a trend might continue on in this next match or not.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a comfortable 3-1 winning score for Al-Hilal at the conclusion of the game.
