Al Hilal won the league in record-breaking circumstances last season and the Blue Wave have started the new campaign in blistering fashion. They have won all three games played this term across competitions and already have the Saudi Super Cup in the kitty. Jorge Jesus' side are the pacesetters after just one game.
Damac have their work cut out if they are to be the first side to defeat the defending champions in over 15 months. Their chances of victory are slim, having won just one historical head-to-head game.
