The 16th round of the Saudi Pro League will feature a match between Al-Hilal and Al-Wehda, which will take place on Tuesday at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh. I suggest betting on goals in this matchup with good chances of success.
Match preview
After Al-Ittihad's slip-up in the first round of the new calendar year (a 1-1 draw with Al-Fayha), Al-Hilal regained the top spot in the standings, although they are only in first place due to goal difference. On the other hand, the team is now 9 points ahead of Al-Qadisiyah and a full 11 points ahead of Al-Nassr.
At the same time, a loss to Al-Ittihad in the King's Cup allowed Jorge Jesus' men to fully focus on the league, where they have shown excellent form, demolishing Al-Orobah 5-0 and Al-Fateh 9-0.
Meanwhile, Al-Wehda is also in the relegation zone, but the tightness in the table gives them hope of survival in the top division. With only 12 points from 15 matches, they trail the safe zone teams by goal difference.
In their last Premier League match, Al-Wehda lost 0-3 away to Al-Qadisiyah. This defeat was their third in the last four rounds. Furthermore, in six away matches, Al-Wehda has only one victory and four losses.
Probable lineups
- Al-Hilal: Bono — Cancelo, Koulibaly, Al-Bulaihi, Al-Ghannam — Neves, Milinkovic-Savic — Al-Dawsari, Malcom, Al-Qahtani — Leonardo
