Al Hilal vs Al Ahli Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Jorge Jesus’ men ended up as the better side last time.

Al Hilal are all set to host Al Ahli on matchday 23 of the Saudi Pro League 2024-25 edition. The hosts are in the second spot and have been able to win 16 games in 22 league matches. Al Ahli are in fifth place after winning 14 games in the same number of matches.

Al Hilal came back to winning ways after dominating Al Kholood in their last Saudi Pro League fixture. Jorge Jesus’ men were in the attacking mode early on and scored a couple of goals to keep them ahead. They also came out with the majority of the ball possession and were controlling the whole match. However, they did concede a goal in the second half.

Al Ahli will be away from home but they will be confident enough as they are coming in after dominatingly defeating Al Qadsiah, who are one of the best defensive sides this season. They took every chance they got and netted a goal. They will have to repeat the same against Al Hilal who are an attack-heavy side and have seen some issues with the defence.

Ivan Toney (Al Ahli)
