Al-Hilal vs Al-Shabab Prediction and Betting Tips | September 29, 2023 

Al-Hilal host Al-Shabab at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium on Friday (September 29) in the Saudi Professional League.

The hosts drew 1-1 with Damac in their last league outing. They returned to winning ways on Monday with a narrow but utterly dominant 1-0 win over Al-Jabalain in the King's Cup, thanks to a second-half strike from Portugal international Ruben Neves.

Al-Hilal are second in the league table with 17 points from seven games. They are just one point behind Al-Ittihad at the top of the pile and will leapfrog them with maximum points.

Al-Shabab, meanwhile, endured a slow start to their season but have found form recently. They beat Al-Hazem 4-1 last time out in the league. Yannick Carrasco and Fawaz Al-Sagour handed the White Lion a two-goal lead at the interval before Ever Banega made sure of the points with a second-half brace.
