Al-Hilal - Neom: Match preview
Last season, Al-Hilal came extremely close to winning the Saudi Arabian league title. However, they failed to add another trophy to their collection. Al-Hilal collected 84 points and finished just two points behind the champions. They have made an excellent start to the new season and are now the main favourites to win the title. Simone Inzaghi's side have won all five rounds: 4-2 in the opening round, followed by victories of 3-0, 5-1, 2-0 and 3-0. Al-Hilal have a maximum 15 points after five rounds, sit top of the table and have a goal difference of 17:3. They are currently three points clear of second place and have a game in hand against Neom, so their lead could become even bigger. In addition, Al-Hilal have reached the next round of the King's Cup after beating Al-Raed 2-0.
Neom have also reached the second round of the Saudi Arabian King's Cup after beating Al-Faisaly 2-1. As for the new Pro League season, Neom have been rather inconsistent throughout the campaign. The team won their first and second-round matches, but then suffered two defeats. However, in the most recent round, Neom thrashed their opponents 3-0. The team currently have nine points and sit seventh in the table, just two points behind fourth place. Last season, Neom finished eighth and came close to qualifying for the Gulf Cup. However, their 45 points were not enough to earn a place in the international tournament. They will now try to qualify for one of these competitions.
