On May 31, MRSOOL Park (Riyadh) will host the match of the 30th round of the Saudi Professional League, in which Al-Hilal will compete with Al-Raed. The battle will start at 20:00 CET.

Al-Hilal

The team won its 3rd league title in a row in the previous season, and the 5th one since 2017. “The Leaders” became the strongest in Saudi Arabia 18 times in total. Nowadays, there were chances to save the season due to success in the Champions League. Still, the title, which would have been the 5th in the history, was prevented by Carrillo’s own goal in Japan – it gave a minimal victory to Urawa Red Diamonds after a 1-1 draw in the first match. Well, the inner arena is characterized by a complete failure. The team not only failed to keep the gold medals, on the contrary, it was hopelessly behind both Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr, struggling only for the 3rd place with Al-Shabab. Although it seems that the club, or rather, its management, is more interested in the race for the right to sign up the contract with Messi (and to add Verratti, Busquets, Alba) than in the results of the last rounds. Although Abha was beaten in the home match of the previous round with a 3-0 score.

Al-Raed

The club gradually strengthen its positions in the top division of the country. The success was not possible from the first time, but still, it has been stable to stay there since 2008. To be honest, it demonstrated nothing special. For instance, the previous season brought “the Red and Blacks” the 7th place (among 16 participants), which was quite a good result. Nevertheless, the mentor was replaced – the position was taken by Sumudica, a real football “pilgrim” from Romania, who moved from Al-Shabab, and, generally speaking, worked a lot in various parts of the Middle East. To be honest, there is no particular progress under his rule; there is even a threat to finish a little worse than in the previous cycle (somewhere in the middle of the final standings). A 0-0 draw in the battle against Al-Khaleej brought the team to the so-called equator, 9th place.

The statistics of head-to-head matches
