Match announcement
Al-Orobah FC
Current form
Al-Oruba is a newcomer to the Saudi Arabian Premier League, and the club's results are quite good for such a status. But recently, the team's play has not been going well. There have been losses in five of the last six matches, and at the local stadium, the three previous meetings of Mohammed Al-Sharari's protégé have lost with a total score of 0:6.
There are problems with the implementation of moments, because only 11 goals were scored, only Al-Faikh, which is in the relegation zone, has less. Well, the defense is not ideal - 25 goals conceded. Such results, of course, do not allow us to count on a positive result in the confrontation with the current champion of the country.
Disqualifications and injuries
Serry will not take part in the match due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Al-Oruba have lost their last three matches at home
- In the last three lost matches in front of local fans, they didn't even manage to score
Probable line-up: Kuke - Al-Makuati, Kandouss, Zouma, Al-Shuwaish, Al-Zubaidi - Gudmundsen, Mukhar, Al-Quarni, Tello - Boateng.
Al Hilal
Current form
In November, Al-Hilal suffered two setbacks in the national championship. First, the current champion of the country tied with Al-Nasr (1:1), and then unexpectedly suffered a defeat in the confrontation with Al-Hallij (2:3), and this is taking into account the fact that in that match by the 37th minute of the first half, the protégés of Jorge Jesus were leading 2:0. These failures, as well as the competent performances of Al-Ittihad, forced the team to drop from first to second place in the ranking, and now the gap from the leader is two points.
A few days ago, Al-Hilal suffered another defeat and sensationally left the King's Cup, losing to Al-Ittihad on penalties at home. Now there is an opportunity to fully concentrate on the domestic championship and regain the lead.
Disqualifications and injuries
Neymar, Al-Dawsari, Al-Shahrani, Mitrovic will not appear on the field due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Al-Hilal have failed to win three of their last four away matches
- The visitors have not left the field without scoring a goal for more than 50 games in a row
Probable line-up: Bono - Cancelo, Koulibaly, Al-Bulaihi, Lodi - Neves, Milinkovic-Savic - Al-Dawsari, Al-Hamdan, Malcom - Leonardo.

1.90Tip and bets
Al-Hilal only needs a win in the upcoming match to continue the pursuit of Al-Ittihad, who are in first place. The players understand this perfectly well, as they also understand that the upcoming opponent is significantly lower in playing class and that they can only win with experience. Also, Jorge Jesus' charges are very angry about the defeat in the last match of the King's Cup and will most likely take out all their anger on the upcoming opponent. This means that they are very likely to achieve a confident victory.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Al-Hilal with odds of 1.57
Bet on total
Al-Hilal are second among the teams that concede the least, and Al-Oruba are second among the clubs that score the least. Such statuses allow us to assume that only the visitors will be able to score in the upcoming match.

Bet on corners
If Al-Hilal plays the football they usually play, they will win not only by the score, but also by other indicators. For example, by the number of corner kicks.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-2.5) on corners for Al-Hilal with odds of 1.70
