Can Al Hilal continue their unbeaten streak?
Al Wehda have secured their status in the Saudi Pro League next season as they currently occupy the 13th spot in the league. They can finish the season on a high note with just one game remaining against Al Hilal.
They have won only once in the last five matches and will hope to improve in this contest. Al Wehda played Al Akhdoud to a 1-1 draw in their last match despite Ighalo’s perfect start in the 12th minute.
Al Hilal have performed exceptionally this season, winning the league emphatically, scoring the most goals, and conceding the fewest. With a crucial finale coming up against Al Nassr in a week, they now have an excellent chance of winning the treble this term.
Jorge Jesus has assembled a team that is eager to win every trophy that comes their way. Al Hilal have maintained an unbeaten record throughout the campaign and are the league’s best team.
