Al Hilal vs Al Faisaly prediction
Despite going through the entirety of last season unbeaten in the Pro League, Simone Inzaghi’s Al Hilal finished as runners’ up to Al Nassr. Their big money signing of Crysencio Summerville, partnering winter addition Karim Benzema, should prove to be decisive this time around.
Al Faisaly finished second in the second-tier last season and now Giovanni Solinas’ Burgundy, as they are nicknamed, could well be solid operators this season, with some attacking threat from the likes of Christian Bassogog and Theo Bongonda.
Al Faisaly may surprise a few teams this season but this is an extremely difficult task on the opening day with a comfortable Al Hilal win to be expected at the Kingdom Arena.
Al Hilal vs Al Faisaly tip: Al Hilal to win -1 handicap
