Al Hilal will welcome Damac to the Kingdom Arena for a Saudi Pro League round 24 clash on Saturday (March 16th).
The hosts are coming off a 2-0 away win over Al Ittihad in the second leg of their AFC Champions League round-of-16 tie to qualify with a 4-0 aggregate victory. Second-half goals from Yasir Al Shahrani and Malcom helped them book a semifinal date with Al Ain.
The Blue Wave will turn their focus back to the league scene where their last game came in a 3-1 away win over Al Riyadh.
Damac, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a narrow 1-0 home win over Al Wehda. Abdullah Al Bukhari's 22nd-minute own goal proved to be the difference between the two sides.
The win saw them climb to sixth spot in the table, having garnered 34 points from 23 games. Al Hilal still lead the way at the summit with 65 points to their name.
