Al-Hilal vs Al-Riyadh. Will Aleksandar Mitrovic continue his scoring exploits in Saudi Arabia?
On Friday, September 15, at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium in Riyadh, a match between Al-Hilal and Al-Riyadh will take place as part of the 6th round of the Saudi Arabian League.
Al-Hilal produced a fantastic performance on the field of the champion Ittihad and, thanks to a hat-trick from Aleksandar Mitrovic, achieved a victory that allowed Jorge Jesus' team to take the lead in the Saudi Super League. But Neymar has not yet made his debut for Hilal, who is gaining shape in the reserve team and demonstrating tricks with meat there for the amusement of the public.
Hilal are equipped as a strong and balanced team, which has an excellent goalkeeper in Bounou, a defensive leader in Koulibaly, a Neves-Milinkovic-Savic pairing in midfield and a magical attacking trio of Neymar-Mitrovic-Malcom. So far there are no noticeable problems with motivation among the star legionnaires, and Neymar should finally make his debut against Riyadh.
Al-Riyadh
Al-Riyadh is a team that does not have Al-Hilal's money. Riyadh's roster is being formed by mediocre foreign players, and even they have become a strengthening for the club, which last season played in the first division, but was able to rise to the Super League due to the expansion of the number of its participants.
After a debut victory over Al-Wehda and a draw with Damak, Riyadh has a series of defeats that are unlikely to be interrupted in the game with Al-Hilal. Apart from Andre Gray and Didier Ndong, Riyadh has no famous players, but these foreign players are not impressive and are not yet key performers, like Juanmi, who came from Betis.
