Al-Hilal vs Al Fayha: match preview
Al-Hilal remain unbeaten this season and are delivering outstanding results across all competitions. The team are currently enjoying an impressive winning run in the Saudi Pro League, which has propelled them to the top of the table. After 15 matches, Al-Hilal have collected 41 points and hold a four-point lead over the second-placed side. They are the clear favourites for the title this season, and so far everything is going according to plan.
Al Fayha, meanwhile, are struggling for form and results, having gone seven matches without a victory. As a result, the team have slipped to 13th place in the standings. They have picked up 14 points from 15 matches and sit four points clear of the relegation zone. A relegation battle lies ahead in the Saudi Pro League, meaning Al Fayha urgently need to start collecting points to secure their top-flight status.
Probable line-ups
- Al-Hilal: Al Rubaie; Al Yami, Tambakti, Mari, Hernandez; Malcolm, Milinkovic-Savic, Neves, Kanno; Marcos Leonardo, Nunez
- Al Fayha: Mosquera; Bamsaud, Smalling, Villanueva, Al Baqawi; Dahal, Benzia, Semedo, Al Beshe; Remeseiro, Sakala
Prediction
Al-Hilal are in excellent form, and I believe they will be able to claim a home victory against Al Fayha. I suggest a bet on the hosts’ individual team total over 2.5 goals.
