Al Raed vs Al Hilal Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Saudi Pro League 2024-25

The visitors have already defeated Al Raed once this season.

Al Raed are all set to host Al Hilal in the match week 30 of the Saudi Pro League 2024-25 season. The interesting league fixture between the two teams will take place at the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium.

Al Raed are in the relegation zone on the Saudi Pro League points table. As things stand, they might get demoted at the end of the season as they are in the last spot. They will face Al Hilal next in what will be a tough encounter for them.

Al Raed have already lost a game to the Saudi Pro League giants previously this season and despite being at home, they will be low on confidence.

Al Hilal are placed second on the league table and still have a chance to defend their Saudi League title. They will have to win all of their upcoming matches, which is not going to be an easy task for them because of their current form. Jorge Jesus’ men faced a defeat in their last fixture against Al Ahli, where they were knocked out of the AFC Champions League Elite.
