Head-to-head statistics Al Hilal - Shabab AlAhli
Al Hilal Riyadh are consistent across all competitions
Al Hilal Riyadh have long been a force in football, not just in Saudi Arabia but across Asia. They challenge for trophies in almost every competition, and this season are no exception. They have taken 30 points from 11 league matches and sit top of the Pro League. They are not just winning regularly, either: they often win by comfortable margins.
Last weekend, the Saudi giants underlined their quality with a 2-0 home win over Al Fateh. It was more convincing than the scoreline suggests: they dominated the statistics and could have won by a much wider margin with sharper finishing.
Their AFC Champions League campaign is also going well, despite an unexpected setback. Al Hilal Riyadh have six points from three matches and sit fifth in the standings. After a strong start, they lost 3-1 away to Qatar’s Al Shamal in the latest round. It would be hard to put that defeat down to bad luck: the hosts played better, created more chances and deserved the win.
Match Results: Al Hilal Riyadh
AL Ahli Dubai have started the season without a setback
AL Ahli Dubai have been among the UAE’s strongest clubs for several years, regularly competing for trophies and representing the country successfully on the international stage. They have made a solid start to this season, too. After six league matches, they sit second in the table with 13 points. There have been occasional setbacks, but their results give them reason to be optimistic. They have also had extra time to prepare for a crucial trip to Saudi Arabia: AL Ahli Dubai were due to face Ittihad Kalba last weekend, but the entire UAE league round was postponed.
In international competition, AL Ahli Dubai have been flawless so far: three matches, three wins and nine points from a possible nine. They could hardly have asked for a better start. Even so, they sit second in the table, behind the leaders only on tiebreakers. In the previous round, they beat Iran’s Esteghlal 2-0 at home. The scoreline suggests a more comfortable win than it was, though: the match was closely contested. The hosts carried slightly more attacking threat and, crucially, made far better use of their chances.
Match Results: Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai
Total Goals Prediction
AL Ahli Dubai’s away matches rarely lack goals. The UAE side regularly find the net but do not always keep their opponents out: both teams have scored in six of their last seven away games. Despite their star-studded squad and impressive results, Al Hilal Riyadh also make occasional mistakes at the back. Our prediction is both teams to score (yes) at odds of 1.59*.
Corners Prediction
Al Hilal Riyadh are used to dictating play, especially at home. The Saudi giants make full use of the flanks, keep opposing defences under pressure and regularly win corners. They have taken at least six corners in seven of their last eight matches. We expect that trend to continue and are backing Al Hilal Riyadh over 5.5 team corners.
Yellow Cards Prediction
The hosts have more quality and more technically gifted players, some of whom can only be stopped by fouling. AL Ahli Dubai will have to spend long spells without the ball and disrupt Al Hilal Riyadh’s quick attacks, with many of those challenges likely to result in bookings. Our pick is AL Ahli Dubai to receive more yellow cards.
⭐ Editor’s prediction
Bookmakers make Al Hilal Riyadh clear favourites for this match, and it is hard to disagree. The Saudi club have considerably more quality than their opponents, with a host of players who were competing at the highest level in Europe until recently. Their results have been just as impressive, as they continue to set their sights on major honours. Al Hilal Riyadh are particularly formidable at home, where they have won nine of their last 10 matches. Our main pick is Al Hilal Riyadh to win. Predicted score: 3-1.
