AL KHOLOOD VS AL HILAL PREDICTION
The home team come into this one on the back of a disappointing 3-1 defeat at home to Al Shabab in their most recent outing in the Round of 32 of the King Cup of Champions. Al Kholood have now managed just one win in five matches across all competitions. They face an Al Hilal side that produced an impressive defeat of Al Ittihad last weekend as they begin the defence of their Saudi title with four successive victories in the Pro League. They won 31 and drew three games last season, scoring 101 goals in the process. Another heavy and comfortable Al Hilal victory is to be expected.
