Friday night’s action sees a clash in the Saudi Pro League between Al Fateh and Al-Hilal.
The hosts, Al Fateh, have been solid this season, sitting in 13th place, but with three points separating them and the relegation spots, they still have plenty to play for this season. On the other hand, Al-Hilal are one of the top teams in the division as they continue to chase down Al Ittihad in top spot.
As the game approaches, here is everything you need to know about the sides ahead of kick-off.
• Al Fateh have scored 12 goals in their last five matches
• Al Fateh have conceded 14 goals in their last three meetings with Al-Hilal
• Al-Hilal have scored 19 goals in their last five matches
• Al-Hilal are ranked 2nd away from home in the Saudi Pro League
As the landscape of Saudi Arabian football continues to change, Al Fateh will be relatively happy with their season. Without the finances and big names of other clubs, the club sit in 13th place in the regions of mid-table mediocrity and a relegation battle. In recent weeks, Al Fateh have been in strong form, winning three out of their last five games.
Their opponents, Al-Hilal, have been one of the standouts in the league as they look to win silverware this season. Sat six points behind the title with three games left to play – the last time out for the second-placed side was an emphatic 4-0 victory over Al-Orobah.
Aleksandar Mitrovic will be one to watch in this fixture, the Serbian international having scored 16 goals in 20 Saudi Pro League appearances this season. Mitrovic also comes into this fixture on strong form after scoring in the previous match.
Al Fateh Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Alaqidi, Baattia, Fernandes, Saadane, Al Zarie, Youssouf, Al Fuhaid, Batna, Vargas, Sbai, Machado.
Al Fateh have a relatively fresh squad to face Al-Hilal, with just one injury worry. On loan midfielder, Suhayb Al Zaid, is the only absentee as the Saudi Arabian continues his rehabilitation after sustaining a cruciate ligament injury.
Al-Hilal Predicted Lineup (4-1-4-1): Bounou, Al Yami, Tambakti, Koulibaly, Al-Harbi, Neves, Malcom, Kanno, Milinkovic-Savic, Al-Dawsari, Mitrovic.
Similar to their opponents, Al-Hilal have one injury worry. However, it is considerably larger than that of their opposition.
Top goal-scorer Marcos Leonardo continues to be doubtful, the Brazilian is out with personal reasons and has not played since April 29th.
