Al Khaleej vs Al Hilal: Full lineups confirmed for Saudi Pro League 2026-27 match
The Blue Waves have won all of their SPL matches so far.
Al Khaleej will host Al Hilal at the Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd Stadium in Dammam in a Matchday 4 fixture of the Saudi Pro League 2026-27 season on Friday night. The visitors have been flawless in the SPL so far, winning both of their matches. They will look to maintain that record tonight.
Al Hilal began their league campaign with a nervy 4-2 win over Al Faisaly, followed by a 2-0 win over Al Raed in the Saudi King’s Cup Round of 32. Simone Inzaghi’s men then secured a solid 3-0 win over Al Fayha in the league.
Ruben Neves will be key for the visitors, having scored twice in the league and twice in the cup this season. The Portuguese midfielder will be supported by in-form players such as Sultan Mandash and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
Al Khaleej, on the other hand, are still seeking their first win of the season. They opened their SPL campaign with back-to-back goalless draws against Al Taawoun and Al Shabab. Their last outing was a 1-1 draw against Abha Club.
In the Saudi King’s Cup, they suffered a 2-0 loss against Al Akhdoud.
