Al Qadisiyah vs Al Hilal Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Defending champions to battle Al Qadisiyah away from home in Saudi Pro League.

Al Qadisiyah will host Al Hilal in their next Saudi Pro League clash which is all set to take place on January 27. The hosts are residing at the third spot in the league table but they still are nine points away from the top spot. The visitors are once again leading the Saudi Pro League standings and their title defence is going well.

Al Qadisiyah have the best defence in the Saudi Pro League 2024-25 season as they have only conceded 11 goals so far. But it will be interesting to see how they will withstand against the best-attacking side in the Saudi Pro League which are the Blue Waves. Al Qadisiyah will be coming in confident as they are on a two-match winning streak and they will be looking to extend it against the Saudi Pro League defending champions.

Al Hilal are leading the Saudi Pro League 2024-25 standings. They do have similar points to Al Ittihad but are ahead due to the goal difference between them. Although Jorge Jesus’s team have been eliminated from the King Cup of Champions, they still are in the race for the league title and AFC Champions League title. They generally don’t make mistakes but they will have to step up their attacking game when they face Al Qadisiyah away from home.

Players to Watch

Nacho (Al Qadisiyah)

The former Real Madrid player will play a huge role for the hosts in their important Saudi Pro League clash. Nacho will be leading his side from the front and as a defender, he will not allow opposition attackers to get past him. By preventing the visitors from scoring, Al Qadisiyah will surely have a better chance to secure points. Nacho will be a key asset for the home side.

Ruben Neves (Al Hilal)

Without the presence of Aleksander Mitrovic, it is going to be a tough match but Ruben Neves in the midfield could play a key role for Al Hilal. The Portugal international has been gradually improving his playmaking skills for the team and can help out his team on the attacking front. He will also be a beneficial player for Al Hilal in the defence.
