Al Hilal vs Al Raed Lineups, prediction, betting tips & odds

There is a 17-point difference between the two sides

Matchday 13 of the Saudi Pro League will feature Al Hilal hosting Al Raed in a must-win game. Al Hilal are trailing the league standings for the first time this season and need to get all three points to stay within touching distance of Al Ittihad. With 10 wins, one draw, and one loss, they have accumulated 31 points and can go top of the table with a win. The defending champions suffered a surprise defeat against Al Khaleej last month and have dropped five points in their last five matches.

Al Raed on the other hand are sitting on the 10th spot in the Saudi Pro League table. With four wins, two draws and six losses, Al Raed have 14 points to their name after opening 12 matches. Their vulnerable defence is one of the vital reasons behind their underwhelming season as they have conceded 17 goals already.

Aleksandar Mitrovic (Al-Hilal)

The Serbian striker is in the form of his life right now. The 30-year-old has found the back of the net on 20 occasions in 22 games. He is one of the key reasons behind Al Hilal’s recent success. As this game has become a must-win one for the hosts, they will look to rely on their star striker to give them an edge.

Amir Saayoud (Al Raed)

With three goals and four assists in the Saudi Pro League, the Algerian has become one of the most important players for Al Raed. He is very versatile and can play as a centre forward, right winger, and attacking midfielder equally well. He is a clever playmaker and an effective dribbler as well. Amir has been the highlight of Al Raed’s season so far and a great performance will be expected from him against a difficult opponent.
