⁠Saudi Pro League: Al Hilal vs Al Akhdoud: Predicted lineup, injury news, head-to-head, telecast

Al Hilal are on a 12-point lead at the top of the table

Al Hilal, leading the Saudi Pro League and are currently at the top of the table with 71 points. They are not only dominant in their home ground but also at away places as well. Spearheaded by a formidable frontline, they boast prolific goal scorers who have consistently performed and helped the team to get wins. As they gear up to face Al Akhdoud in the upcoming fixture, they aim to sustain their impeccable winning streak.

Al Akhdoud, in their recent match against Al Raed, suffered a 1-3 defeat on their home turf. Struggling to find their rhythm, they have faltered in their previous outings. Currently, they are placed at 14th in the Saudi Pro League with 24 points and are very near to the relegation zone. Urgently needing a resurgence they face the imminent threat of further complications if they fail to turn the tide. Although the upcoming fixture promises to be a formidable challenge, they must summon their efforts to salvage something from the encounter.

Player to Watch

Malcom (Al Hilal)

He does offer both variety and flexibility, he can play from the left as well as the right side, and he can also drift into central positions. He is a quick and tricky wide player. His fast flick combinations and mazy dribbles allow him to consistently escape overloads. He is very comfortable in possession and his quick feet allow him to consistently come out of tight areas.

Alex Collado (Al Akhdoud)

He tends to drop deep to assist the build-up and carry the ball forward via his runs. His main strengths include an excellent presence in the final third, security on the ball, progression through run and set-pieces prowess. One of his best attributes is also his final product in terms of goals and shooting output. He is very effective at destabilising defensive blocks with smart passes.
