Al Hilal vs Al Wehda Prediction
Jorge Jesus’ Al Hilal have endured an inconsistent run through the middle of the campaign but they come into this one on the back of hammering Al Fateh by nine goals to nil the other day thanks to a hat-trick from Marcos Leonardo as well as goals scored by Kalidou Koulibaly, Renan Lodi, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Malcom, Abdullah Al-Hamdan as well as an own goal by Faisal Al-Abdulwahid. They now face an Al Wehda side that were hammered 3-0 by Al Qadsiah as they sit firmly inside the bottom three and the relegation places with another heavy Al Hilal victory to be expected for this one, especially with their home advantage.
