Al-Wehda vs Al-Hilal Prediction and Betting Tips

Al-Wehda will host Al-Hilal at the King Abdul Aziz Stadium on Wednesday in the penultimate round of the 2024-25 Saudi Professional League campaign. The home side have picked up important points over the past few months and will confirm safety with maximum points in their final two matches as they sit 15th in the league standings, two points clear of the drop zone.

They were beaten 3-1 by Al-Qadsiah in their last match, taking the lead just before the half-hour mark via an Odion Ighalo strike before their opponents came from behind to secure maximum points late in the game.

Al-Hilal have had a disappointing season but are looking to confirm a spot in next season's AFC Champions League Elite and only need a point to do so. They picked up a brilliant 4-3 comeback win over Al-Fateh last time out, with Salem Al-Dawsari and Aleksandar Mitrovic scoring second-half braces to overturn a two-goal deficit for the Blue Waves.

The visitors sit second in the table with 71 points from 32 matches and will be looking to pick up maximum points in their final away game of the campaign.
