Al-Hilal Extend 30-Match Run Before Al-khaleej Vs Al-hilal

Al-khaleej vs al-hilal lands on Tuesday evening with the visitors carrying a 30-match league unbeaten run into the Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium. Al-Hilal remain second in the Saudi Pro League and five points behind Al Nassr, so the margin for another slip is thin.

Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium

Al Khaleej enter at 10th with 37 points from 10 wins, seven draws and 13 defeats. They have scored 51 league goals and conceded 48, a record that matches their mixed season more than their recent form.

Two straight wins have lifted them into this fixture with some momentum. They beat Al Najma 3-1 and then won 2-0 away at Damac FC, where Joshua King scored twice.

Joshua King And Kostas Fortounis

King has 18 goals in 25 Saudi Pro League appearances this season, and Kostas Fortounis has added 11 assists. Those numbers give Al Khaleej a direct route into the game if they can get the ball into the right areas early.

At home, though, the split has been uneven. Al Khaleej have six wins, two draws and six defeats at the Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium, which leaves them meeting the league's most stable side on their own ground.

Simone Inzaghi And Al-Hilal

Al-Hilal arrive with 74 points from 22 wins and eight draws, plus a league-leading 79 goals and only 25 conceded. They have won four and drawn one of their last five league matches, and their most recent outing ended in a 3-0 win over Al Hazem.

Karim Benzema scored in the ninth minute of that match, while Marcus Leonardo and Ruben Neves finished it late. Simone Inzaghi will be asking for the same control again, because the title race remains tight and Al-Hilal cannot afford to lose ground now.

Head-to-head form leans the same way. Al-Hilal won the most recent meeting 3-2, and they have taken four of the last five meetings between the sides, which gives Tuesday's trip a clear edge even before kickoff.
