Al-Okhdood FC vs Al-Hilal FC Prediction: A sure win for the defending champions Hilal

Al-Hilal will start their new season against Al-Okhdoud at the Prince Hathloul Stadium on Saturday. The defending champions will set out to defend their title again and their first victim of the new season is Al-Okhdoud. Al-Okhdoud on the other hand finished 15th in the Saudi Pro League last season barely escaping relegation. There are no two ways about how this game will end. It's going to be a confident victory for Hilal. Please see the carefully prepared tips.

Al-Okhdoud had a bad run in the Saudi Pro League last season as they finished 15th placed last season with only a point clear of relegation. They had an overall league statistics of 9 wins, 6 draws, and 19 losses from a total of 34 games played. 

The 23/24 season was Al-Hilal’s season as they had a cabinet full of trophies. Al-Hilal had an amazing run in their campaign last season as they won the Roshan Saudi League for the 19th time in their history and they achieved it with an unbeaten record in the league. Hilal achieved immense success last season and they have also added the Saudi King’s Cup to their cabinet already this season by defeating Al-Nassr in the finals last week. They came back from a goal down to win that game which eventually ended in a 1-4 victory. There’s no stopping Al-Hilal this season and Okhdoud will only be their first victim this season. 

Al-Hilal has won the last two games between them.

Al-Hilal will ease past Al-Akhdoud on Saturday and we can bank on that. They met twice in the league last season and Al-Akhdoud couldn’t even score a goal, we foresee a similar result here with Hilal dominating the play. Our prediction is for Hilal to win both halves of the game. Their last two encounters produced more than 2.5 goals and we envisage the same here on Saturday. A total of over 2.5 goals was scored by Al-Hilal.
