The home side are currently placed sixth on the league table with 16 points. The Pearls have five wins, one draw, and four losses in their opening 10 games.
The team have struggled defensively in the ongoing league campaign as they have already conceded 12 goals. However, Al Khaleej have improved recently. With nine goals scored and just two conceded in their last three fixtures, Al Khaleej might create some difficulties for the defending champions.
Al Hilal on the other hand still find themselves on the summit of the Saudi Pro League. With 28 points from their opening 10 matches, they are being tipped to successfully defend their title. But with Al Ittihad breathing down their necks with 27 points, they can’t afford any more slip ups.

Form:

Players to watch out for:
Abdullah Al-Salem (Al Khaleej)
The number 11 of The Pearls is also their top scorer in the ongoing league campaign with five goals. He is coming into this game with four goals in his last two matches. The Saudi Arabian attacker will be given the responsibility to make a difference against league leaders. He needs to show his clinical edge as he won’t get many chances against the Blue Power.
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 18 occasions in as many games. He is one of the key reasons behind Al Hilal’s recent success. As this game has become a must-win for the visitors, they will look to rely on their star striker to give them an edge against their opponents.
