Players to Watch

Ruben Neves (Al Hilal)

The Portuguese midfielder was once again on the scoresheet for Al Hilal and is going to be a crucial part of the squad again. In 16 Saudi Pro League appearances, he has 13 goal involvements and will be looking to add more to his tally. Ruben Neves is in good form.

He can regulate the ball well in the midfield and is surely capable of scoring goals.

Ivan Toney (Al Ahli)

Ivan Toney is coming in after netting a sensational hat-trick in the previous fixture. He is in top form at the moment and is now the Saudi Pro League top scorer, overtaking Cristiano Ronaldo. The Englishman is yet again going to play an important role in the final third for Al Hilal and will be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.
