Al Khaleej vs Al Hilal Prediction

Both sides have been in terrific form lately. While Al Hilal beat Al Akhdoud 3-0 at home in their last game, Al Khaleej beat Al Raed 1-0 away. The reverse fixture was a tight affair, with the league leaders winning 1-0.

Al Hilal will be without their top goalscorer Aleksandar Mitrovic, which could be a big miss. However, with their form and prowess this season, it’s hard to see them drop points at this point of the season.

Predicted Score: Al Khaleej 1-2 Al Hilal
