Al-Fahya vs Al-Hilal Prediction and Betting Tips
Al-Fahya will host Al-Hilal at the Al Majma'ah Sports City on Friday in another round of the 2023-24 Saudi Professional League campaign.
The home side have struggled for results in the league of late and currently find themselves in the bottom half of the pile. They were beaten 3-0 by Al-Khaleej last time out and could have no real complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target in the opposition box throughout the match.
Al-Fayha sit 11th in the league table with 19 points from 18 games. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways this weekend.
Al-Hilal, on the other hand, have enjoyed a brilliant league campaign and are going full steam ahead in pursuit of the Pro League title. They carried out a 7-0 demolition of Abha last weekend with five different players getting on the scoresheet including former Lazio man Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, who scored a brilliant hat-trick.
The visitors sit atop the league standings with 50 points from 18 matches and will be hopeful of adding to that tally this Friday.
