Match Overview

League strugglers Al Najma, currently at the bottom of the table with no points, are set to host Al Hilal, an undefeated team this season.

Al Najma’s Current Form

Al Najma is in a deep crisis, suffering seven consecutive league defeats and failing to secure a single point. They have only managed to score two goals throughout the season and possess the league’s worst goal difference at 5:16. Despite their poor run, Mario Silva’s side has generally avoided heavy defeats, with only one significant loss (1:5 against Al-Kholood) in seven rounds, including narrow 0:1 defeats to stronger teams like Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad.

Al Hilal’s Performance

Al Hilal is currently in top form, holding third place in the league with 17 points from seven matches. They boast an impressive goal tally of 18 while conceding only six, maintaining an unbeaten record of five wins and two draws. However, Simone Inzaghi’s team often plays pragmatically, with only one victory achieved by a margin greater than two goals. Notably, in 7 out of their 13 matches across all competitions, Al Hilal has conceded at least one goal, including against Al-Okhdood, another Saudi League underdog.

Conclusion and Prediction

Considering these statistics, Al Najma is expected to put up a fight and try to keep the score tight. While Al Hilal is favored to win, a dominant victory with a wide margin is unlikely in this fixture.
