Al Hilal vs Al Kholood Prediction
Jorge Jesus’ Al Hilal come into this one on the back of taking the lead in the Saudi Clasico against Al Ittihad last weekend but were eventually hammered 4-1 by their title rivals in Jeddah last week. That means they have now managed just one win in five games in the Pro League after winning the title without losing a game last season. They now face an Al Kholood side that defeated bottom-of-the-table Al Wehda by a goal to nil the other day as they push into the middle-of-the-table but they remain a little inconsistent and underwhelming. They should be confident of frustrating an inconsistent Al Hilal side with a low-scoring affair appearing quite likely.
Al Hilal vs Al Kholood Tip: Al Hilal to win & under 3.5 goals
