The Saudi Pro League resumes on Friday, May 16, 2025, with a key fixture as Al Fateh hôte Al-Hilal. Kick-off is at 16:55 BST (UK), which corresponds to 17:55 CEST in Italy, Germany, France and Spain. This match is part of the 32nd round and could prove decisive for both clubs in very different ways.
Al Fateh find themselves in the lower reaches of the table, fighting to avoid relegation, while Al-Hilal sit firmly in second place and are pushing for the title. With only three rounds remaining, every point matters, and this game promises high stakes and plenty of drama.
Comment les deux équipes abordent-elles ce match ?
Al Fateh head into this fixture just three points above the relegation zone. Their season record stands at 9 wins, 6 draws and 16 defeats, with a goal difference of 40 scored and 55 conceded. Under manager José Manuel Martins Teixeira Gomes, they have shown glimpses of resilience, remaining unbeaten in six games before a narrow 1-0 defeat at Al-Wehda.
By contrast, Al-Hilal under Mohammad Bander Al Shalhoub have been a model of consistency. They boast 20 wins, 5 draws and just 5 losses, and have found the net 84 times while conceding 37. A recent 4-0 demolition of Al Orobah highlighted their firepower and leaves them eager to maintain momentum in the title race.
Nos prévisions
Given Al-Hilal’s superior form and historical dominance in direct encounters—4 wins in the last 5 meetings, including a 9-0 triumph—the smart money is on an away victory. Al Fateh have shown defensive frailties, especially against high-pressing sides.
We also expect both teams to find the net. Al-Hilal’s attack is prolific, and even in defeat Al Fateh tend to create chances at home. Therefore, our combined recommendation is an Al-Hilal win avec les deux équipes doivent marquer.
