Al Hilal vs Al Fateh Prediction
After a wobble before the winter break, Al Hilal would have been worried after their return from the winter break with a penalty shootout defeat to Al Ittihad in the quarter-finals of the King Cup of Champions. In the Saudi Pro League, though, they annihilated Al Oroboh by five goals to nil thanks to a brace from Marcos Leonardo as well as goals from Ruben Neves, Ali Al Buhaili and Renan Lodi. They now face an Al Fateh side that sit rock-bottom with just one victory in their 16 matches so far this season and Al Hilal, especially with their home advantage, are expected to win this one quite comfortably.
Al Hilal vs Al Fateh Tip: Al Hilal to win -1 handicap
