Al Shamal vs Al Hilal prediction
Al Shamal come into this one on the back of a 3-2 loss to Qatar SC in their most recent outing at the weekend. That means the Qataris sit sixth in the Stars League. They have drawn both of their opening games in this competition thus far.
Al Hilal, coached by Simone Inzaghi, are one of four teams in Group B of the AFC Champions League to have won two from two thus far. In the Saudi Pro League, they defeated Al Qadsiah at the weekend to move two points clear at the top-of-the-table.
After another summer of heavy spending, Al Hilal have been very impressive across all competitions this season and they have to be viewed as firm favourites for this one.
