Al Hilal Vs Al Wehda- Starting Lineups, Predictions, Injuries, Suspensions, Head to Head & More

It’s that time of the week as the Saudi Pro League big boys are ready for their upcoming fixture. Table-toppers Al-Hilal have maintained their vice-like grip on the league standings this season. While big teams such as Al Nassr, Al Ittihad, and Al Ahli have failed to make a dent in the Blue Waves’ campaign, the opportunity now lies in front of ninth-place Al Wehda. With the two sides set to lock horns tomorrow night in front of a jam-packed Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium, it will be interesting to see if the away side has what it takes to topple the goliath.

Al Hilal has undoubtedly been the apex predator of the Saudi Pro League this season. The side has been unbeaten this season so far, winning fourteen of their sixteen fixtures. The same cannot be said for their opponents. Al Wehda has somehow steadied their ship in their last five games. However, with just seven wins in their sixteen games, things will surely not be easy for their side taking on Al-Hilal.

Al Hilal vs Al Wehda: Predictions

You’d have to be living under a rock to bet against Al-Hilal heading into this fixture. The side has been utterly dominant in the Saudi Pro League this season and it would almost be a mistake to even consider the side dropping points in front of their home fans. Despite all that, the game is filled with uncertainties, and Al Wehda would love nothing more than to bring the mighty Goliath down to its knees. However, based on how things have turned out this season, Al Hilal is undoubtedly the favorite to emerge victorious at the end of the final whistle.
