Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the 2024 Saudi Pro League match.
Al-Hilal
Al-Hilal haven’t lost a league game yet. It seems that no one has a doubt about who is going to be a new champion. The side doesn’t leave a chance to their opponents. They have scored 50 goals in 17 rounds, conceding only 9. Al-Hilal are the absolute leader of the league with 47 points.
Abha
This is the side of completely different level. They are currently in the relegation zone with the second to last goal difference (19:41). Their form is especially controversial. They haven’t been able to win 6 consecutive games, conceding at least 3 goals in 4 of them. The side has lost with a huge gap to the top teams, for example, they were defeated by Al-Ittihad (2:4) and by Al-Ahli (0:6).
Al-Hilal – Abha prediction
Al-Hilal have won 10 consecutive league games. Only Al-Nassr has a longer win-streak of 13 games in the 2012/13 season. It’s no surprise as Al-Hilal have a lot of stars of European football in their squad. And they have been on fire recently. For example, Mitrović (15+3) has scored at least 1 goal in the last 8 matches.
Al-Hilal will create enough attempts to score at least three goals.
