Nejmeh Unaizah will be at home, but it is not going to make things any easier for them. They have lost all seven of their league matches this season. Despite being at home, Al Najma will be under pressure as they are going to face a tough challenge next.

The Blue Waves will be feeling confident despite being the visiting team. They are on a positive run of form and will be looking to extend their winning run moving forward. Al Hilal have been performing well and are going to give a hard time to the hosts in their upcoming Saudi Pro League fixture.

Players to Watch

Ali Jasim (Al Najma)

The 21-year-old forward from Iraq will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side stand a chance against the in-form Al Hilal. Ali Jasim has scored two goals in seven Saudi Pro League matches this season and will be keen to add more to his tally. A top performance by him can help his side.

Marcos Leonardo (Al Hilal)

Marcos Leonardo will be one of the main men in the attacking front for Al Hilal. The 22-year-old has scored six goals in just four Saudi Pro League appearances in the ongoing campaign. He will be looking to yet again find the net.

The Brazilian striker is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.
