Al-Ahly vs Al-Hilal. Will the streak of the “ideal” leader end?
On Friday, April 19, at the King Abdullah Stadium in Jeddah, a match will take place between the teams Al-Ahly and Al-Hilal as part of the 28th round of the Saudi Arabian League.
The German Matthias Jaissle failed to create a powerful “third force” in the Saudi League at the end of the season. More precisely, it seems that Al-Ahli will still take third place, unless something extraordinary happens. But with the lineup that the team had throughout the season (Mahrez, Firmino, Saint-Maximin, Mendy and others), much more was expected from it, and certainly not falling behind second place by 13 points with 7 rounds to go.
Jaissle, it seems, will lose his position before the new campaign - on the sidelines there is talk about the desire of the Al-Ahly owners to get some more venerable representative of the European coaching workshop (Mourinho is an option), but now the German and his players need to focus on the final rounds in order to prevent the loss of bronze medals. Still, Al-Ittihad, which is 5 points behind, is not as harmless as it might seem throughout the season.
Among the personnel losses of the home team, we note the injury of the young Spaniard Gabri Veiga, as well as the disqualification of defender Abdulbasit Hindi for being sent off in the last round.
Al-Hilal
Very soon, Jorge Jesus' team will officially win the championship title in the Saudi League, although no one doubts the inevitability of this event. A 12-point gap from second-placed Al-Nasr, and a 25-point gap from the future rival and local holder of the “bronze” position, Al-Ahli, is proof of this.
Al-Hilal has already accustomed its fans to victories; the team never tires of breaking the record for the longest winning streak in a single campaign. And no matter how low the team’s motivation, as a result, it still hasn’t made any misfires since the end of September of the last calendar year. Incredible shape!
But the possible loss of points is now influenced not only by motivation, but also by the personnel situation in the club. If previously Al-Hilal's losses were limited only to the Brazilian Neymar, whom Jesus' team had to learn to play without since mid-autumn, now the Seleçao's star player is accompanied by the season's top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic. However, even without the Serb, Al-Hilal manages to win.

We suggest playing a bet on “1X” here with odds of 1.89. Still, the impeccable team from Riyadh must have accumulated fatigue, and in terms of motivation, Al-Hilal has had serious problems in the championship for a long time, which are simply bound to one day lead to the loss of points.

Isn't it time for Jesus' team to finally stumble? Perhaps even “for prevention”, in order to then add motivation in more important fights with greater tournament significance. For example, in the Asian Champions League and the national cup. In addition, an opponent with a strong selection of players in attack (even if they do not often realize their potential), while Al-Hilal himself will not have a top scorer.We suggest playing a bet on “1X” here with odds of 1.89.
