Their upcoming match looks promising as the home team boasts a full and healthy squad. Currently standing at 6th place, with 4 points from 2 matches, having won 1, drawn 1, and lost 0, Al Riyadh is determined to continue their strong start to the season.

Al Hilal is brimming with confidence as they continue their impressive away streak, having secured victories in 3 of their previous 5 matches and solidifying draws in the rest. Their prowess on the road is further demonstrated by their impressive tally of 9 goals in their last 5 away games. Unfortunately, they will be without the talented A. Mitrović due to an injury.

With such strong performances, the away side is expected to continue their dominating form and secure another impressive victory.
In the past two matchups, the fierce rivalry between these two clubs has resulted in an average of 5.5 goals per game.
