Al Fayha vs Al Hilal Prediction
Al Fayha most recently made it three successive goalless draws with a stalemate at home to bottom-of-the-table Al Wehda following up 0-0 draws against Al Khaleej and Al Riyadh. The hosts have suffered just two defeats in ten Saudi Pro League matches since the Saudi Arabian winter break when they were rock-bottom. They face an Al Hilal side that romped to the Saudi title without losing a game last season but are now six points adrift of league leaders Al Ittihad with their 3-2 loss at home to Al Ahli last weekend making it just two victories in six matches in the Pro League. They also come into this one on the back of a 1-0 loss to Pakhakor in Uzbekistan in the first-leg of their AFC Champions League Round of 16 tie the other day. Given their poor form and the solidity of Al Fayha, with their home advantage, a surprise bet in their favour may well be the way to go for this one.
Al Fayha vs Al Hilal Tip: Double chance – Al Fayha to win or draw
