Al Kholood continue to struggle after the restart of the Saudi Pro League and now face one of the toughest possible opponents at home, with Al-Hilal arriving in strong form and chasing the leaders.
Prediction: Asian Handicap – Al Kholood +2.5
This matchup points toward a clear advantage for the visitors, but not necessarily a heavy defeat for the hosts. Al-Hilal’s quality should prevail, yet Al Kholood’s home factor could help them keep the scoreline within reasonable limits.
Al Kholood in Ongoing Crisis
Al Kholood have failed to lift themselves after the league restart and remain stuck in a poor run of results. Their attacking problems were again visible in the goalless draw against Al-Taawoun, and confidence is clearly fragile. Still, playing at home offers at least a platform to show reaction, and the hosts will be keen to improve offensively after recent sterile performances.
Al-Hilal Focused on the Title Race
Al-Hilal arrive in excellent overall form, continuing a strong winning streak across competitions. The recent 3-2 win over Al-Khalij showed both their attacking power and occasional defensive lapses, especially late in matches. With Al-Nassr still ahead in the title race, Al-Hilal’s priority will be securing three points rather than chasing a statement scoreline.
