Al Hilal vs Al Wehda Prediction: a tough contest ahead

Al Hilal and Al Wehda will play at the MRSOOL Park in the fourth round of the 2022 Saudi Professional League. The host will come into this game following a penalty win against Zamalek. Meanwhile, Al Wehda will look to extend their first league win in this match.

Al Hilal's perfect record continued last weeked with their win against Egypt’s Zamalek last week. The host did well to convert their penalty chances well, while all thanks to Al Muaiouf who did well to save from the spot twice. In all competitions, Al Hilal has now gone 9 matches unbeaten, with their last loss coming against Al Feiha after a 1-1 tie 90 minutes in the 2021 King Cup’s final. When the host plays against Al Wehda in this match, they will be focused on getting another big win as they look to cement their spot on the league table. 

Al Wehda has not been in their best form this season, however, their win over Abha will go a long way to boost their confidence. A 49th minute own goal was enough for the visitors to get a win in that match. While being solid since the beginning of the season, conceding at most a goal in each match, we consider that the visitors will be able to hold the pressure and attacking threat of Al Hilal in this match while they also do everything possible to get a win.

In their last five meetings, Al Hilal won three matches, Al Wehda won one and a match ended in a tie. The two teams will hope to get a vital win in this match however. Looking at their recent form, Al Wehda is not at the same quality with Al Hilal, despite this, they have a very big chance of winning, considering Al Hilal might be considering resting some of their key players.
