H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Al Hilal Riyadh Team Overview
π΅ Al-Hilal are the reigning champions of the Saudi Pro League. However, they currently sit in second place, trailing Al-Ittihad by four points. This gap largely stems from their head-to-head defeat (1-4) at the end of February. Despite this, Al-Hilal boast the highest scoring tally in the league, netting 72 goals in 25 matches. A significant portion of these goals comes from Marcos Leonardo (17), who is enjoying his first season in Saudi Arabia after moving from Benfica. The Brazilian also found the back of the net in the recent round, sealing a 2-0 victory against Al-Taawoun.
π Notably, Al-Hilal could see significant reinforcements this summer. The club has reportedly made offers to Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, who are currently hesitant to extend their contracts with Liverpool. Furthermore, the sheikhs have their eyes on other players from the Merseyside club, expressing readiness to buy Dominik Szoboszlai.
β Aleksandar Mitrovic has only featured in one match for Al-Hilal over the past three months. It took him just 28 minutes to score against Al-Fayha. Following that, the Serbian was hospitalized due to physical exhaustion. He has since been discharged but remains exempt from training. It is uncertain when Mitrovic will return to action; perhaps for a clash against a key rival? However, Joao Cancelo will definitely miss out, having suffered a thigh muscle tear a month ago.

Al Nasr Riyadh Team Overview
π‘ At the end of February, Al-Nassr embarked on a challenging stretch of four matches, managing to defeat only Al-Wehda (2-0). The team suffered two losses, dropping to fourth place in the league standings, a position that doesn't grant them a spot in the AFC Champions League. However, in the last round, Al-Nassr secured a victory against Al-Kholood (3-1), despite playing 35 minutes of regular time with ten men. Meanwhile, Al-Qadisiyah slipped up, allowing Cristiano Ronaldo's side to climb back into the top three. Incidentally, the Portuguese star scored again in the last match, reinforcing his lead in the scoring charts.
π Al-Nassr is a team surrounded by numerous rumors. For instance, the club's relationship with Stefano Pioli is reportedly nearing its end. The reasons are not only unsatisfactory results but also tense relations with Cristiano Ronaldo. The 40-year-old forward himself might be on the move, as he's being offered to various top European clubs-Inter have already distanced themselves from the idea.
β In the upcoming match, Otavio will be sidelined, having been out since mid-February with an undisclosed injury. Aymeric Laporte is also dealing with knee issues that have kept him out of all games in March.
