Al-Hilal vs. Al-Khaleej: Match Prediction
Al-Hilal is in excellent form and has been particularly strong at home, where they have not conceded in their last three matches. On the other hand, Al-Khaleej has struggled on the road and will find it difficult to break down a solid Al-Hilal defense. Considering the current form and defensive strengths, I predict: Total under 3.5 goals
