Game Preview
Al Hilal is sitting in the No. 1 position in the 2023 Saudi Pro League (SPL) with 10 points more than the second-placed Al Nassr. Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates have played one game fewer, but despite that, Al Hilal have every right to hope for the title.
Sure, the season is long, but these guys are showing no signs of slowing down. They won each of their last 18 games in all competitions and are still undefeated in the 2023-24 SPL.
Even though they’re without Neymar, these guys are scoring a lot of goals. Their average in the SPL is 2.94, while in their last four games in the league, we saw them score 16 goals. That’s 4.0 goals per game.
We could see Al Hilal improve their scoring average even more. It’s because they’re taking on one of the worst teams in the league. Abha is in the relegation zone at the moment with 41 goals conceded in 17 games. That’s 3.0 goals allowed per average.
Al Hilal vs. Abha Prediction
Al Hilal will win this game, we’re 100% sure of that. Unfortunately, bookies know this as well, which is why they’re giving SPL odds of just -1000 for this team winning on Thursday.
This is why a better bet is that we’re going to see a lot of goals at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium in Riyadh. Over 3.5 goals seems like a fantastic pick.
