Al-Hilal will host Al-Shabab at the Kingdom Arena on Monday in another round of the 2024-25 Saudi Professional League campaign. The home side have had their struggles this season but remain in contention for the league title as they sit second in the league table with 61 points from 28 matches heading into the final weeks of the campaign.
They coasted to a comfortable 3-0 victory over Al-Khaleej in their last match, with team captain Salem Al-Dawsari scoring a goal in either half before Aleksandar Mitrovic wrapped up the points late in the day with his first home league strike since last November.
Al-Shabab are in fine form and have all but confirmed a seventh consecutive top-half league finish. They played out a goalless draw against Al-Okhdood in their last match and will be looking to put out a much better showing next week after an uncharacteristically flat performance last time out.
Trending
The visitors sit sixth in the Pro League with 50 points and will register their highest points tally in the past decade with just eight points in their final six matches.

Al-Hilal vs Al-Shabab Prediction
Al-Hilal's latest result ended a run of back-to-back winless outings, and they will be looking to kick on from that this weekend. They have the second-best home record in the Saudi Arabian top flight this season and will head into this one as clear favorites.
Al-Laith have won three of their last four league games and are undefeated in their last eight in the competition. They have, however, won just two of their last nine games on the road and could lose here.
