Al-Riyadh FC vs Al-Hilal FC Prediction: Another sure win for Hilal

In the third round of the Saudi Pro League game, Al-Hilal will take on Al-Riyadh FC at the Prince Turki Bin Abdul Aziz stadium with hopes of yet another victory. Hilal have recorded two consecutive league victories from their first two league games while Riyadh has also not lost since the start of the new season. We believe this game will be another walk in the park for Hilal and our prediction is for Hilal to score a total of over 2.5 goals. Please see the carefully prepared tips.

Al-Riyadh started the new season with a 3-3 draw against Al-Wehda in their opening game and that game was a major booster for Riyadh. Their second and most recent league game before the international break against Al-Kholodd ended in a 3-1 victory to Riyadh and they’ll be hoping to carry this momentum into Saturday's game against the defending champions Al-Hilal. Ibrahim Bayesh is the current top scorer for Al-Riyadh with 2 goals from two games played. They are now 6th placed in the league with a win and a draw from the games played.

Hilal started another league campaign with a sensational victory, and their season opener against Al-Okhdoud ended in a 0-3 win. Aleksandar Mitrovic got the opening goal of the game for Hilal in the 4th minute with another goal in the 38th minute before Milonkovic-Savic tripled their lead in the 46th minute. They scored all three goals in the first half. Their second and most recent league game against Damac FC before the international break also ended in another 3-2 win to Hilal. Damac FC put up a great performance in that game but it was not enough to put the defending champions down. Aleksandar Mitrovic got a brace in that game and he is the current league top scorer with 4 goals. They are still top of the league table with two wins from two games played. 

Hilal currently leads in their head-to-head statistics with two wins from their last two encounters. 

We know how this game will end and it’s a sure win for Hilal as Riyadh cannot match their strength. Hilal has not lost to Damac in their last 2 encounters and we do not expect any surprises here on Saturday. Our prediction is a win for Hilal and a total of over 2.5 goals. Hilal has scored first in 6 of their last 7 encounters and as the stronger team we expect them also to find the net first.
