Al Hilal Riyadh vs Al-Khaleej FC Predictions

• Al Hilal have won their last four games without conceding.
• Al Hilal have won the last eight head-to-head clashes, conceding just on goal.
• Al Hilal sit top of the table. 14 points clear of Al Khaleej

Al Hilal can continue winning streak

Al Hilal lead the way in the Saudi Pro League with an impressive 23 points from a possible 27, and they are the only unbeaten team left in the division.

The hosts have been dealt a huge blow over the international break as Neymar sustained an ACL injury while playing for Brazil, meaning he faces a lengthy period on the sidelines.

Even with Neymar missing, it is hard to see anything other than a home win when mid-table Al Khaleej visit the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh on Friday.

Al Hilal near perfect at home

Al Hilal drew their home opener but have three wins in as many games since. The Blue Waves have hit 11 goals and conceded just two across their four home games, and they have an impressive record against their opponents on Friday.

Al Khaleej have lost their last eight games against Al Hilal and have scored just once during that run.

Al Hilal have won their last four games without conceding, and they can keep another clean sheet here.

The hosts have scored three goals in each of their last two games and Al Khaleej have failed to score in their last two fixtures, so a 3-0 win for the home side is the correct score prediction.

Former Barcelona man Malcom has settled in well in Saudi Arabia with six goals in nine appearances in the league. Al Hilal may be without a few players returning from international duty but that hasn’t been an issue for the Brazilian so he should come into this game well rested, and an anytime effort from Malcom appeals here.
