Al Ettifaq vs. Al-Hilal Match Analysis
On Monday, the 26th of February, the final matches of the 21st round of the Saudi Professional League will take place, and one of these matches will be between Al-Ettifaq and Al-Hilal.
Match Preview
Al-Ettifaq is currently in the eighth position in the league standings, having accumulated 28 points from 20 matches in the Professional League.
In their last five matches, they have achieved two victories, two draws, and suffered one defeat.
It is worth noting that two of these matches were friendly games.
Under the guidance of Jorge Jesus, Al-Hilal is leading the championship.
They have gathered 56 points from 20 matches in the Professional League, maintaining a seven-point lead over their closest competitor.
Additionally, Al-Hilal is also participating in the AFC Champions League and has won all of their previous five encounters, including a victory against Sepahan in the round of 16 with an aggregate score of 6-2.
Prediction: Al Ettifaq 0-2 Al-Hilal
Al Hilal has been the dominant team in the Saudi Pro League this season, with 18 wins and only two losses in 20 games.
It will be challenging for Al-Ettifaq to secure a win against them, especially considering their recent eight-match winless league run.
While Al Ettifaq’s last week victory would boost their morale, we believe they will struggle against the strong Al Hilal side.
