A victory for the Al-Za’eem would maintain their unbeaten streak

Al Hilal are the best team in the top flight this season being the only side to remain unbeaten. In addition to scoring the most goals and keeping the most clean sheets, they have broken all records. Having already done the double this season, they have the chance to do the treble if they win the King’s Cup final against Al Nassr in the final game of the season.

In the last match, Jorge Jesus’ side made an incredible comeback to draw with Al Nassr after Mitrovic hit a penalty in the final minutes.

On the other side, Al Tai has endured a difficult season so far with the team in danger of relegation as two points separate the team from 16th place Al Akhdoud. However, they have done well in the last five matches by collecting two wins and two draws which have kept them on the safer side for now.

They now face a difficult task against the champions Al Hilal who will aim to keep their unbeaten run intact. If they win their last two matches, they will be able to stay in the top flight.

The last match between Al Hilal and rival Al Nassr ended with a much-needed draw thanks to his crucial penalty scored during stoppage time.

Victor Braga (Al Tai)
