Prediction published on 13/09/2023, 15:13  by Kennedy Kechula in Saudi Pro League Predictions

Al Hilal will be at home against Al Riyadh on Friday as the Saudi Pro League returns for round six. The hosts top the standings after five rounds of play while Al Riyadh are on the opposite end of the table in 15th. Al Hilal are one of two teams yet to suffer defeat this season. They have managed to rack up 13 points after winning four of their five matches. Before the recently concluded international break, Jorge Jesus’ men dealt Al Ittihad their first defeat of the season in a 4-3 victory. That victory extended their current winning run to three matches. Al Za’eem have been one of the best-scoring sides this early in the season and have managed 14 goals.

Al Riyadh are struggling at the opposite end of the standings. This isn’t where they wanted to be in their return to the top flight after almost 20 years. Yannick Ferrera’s men find themselves just one point above the relegation zone. They have amassed four points and have lost three of their five fixtures. Those three defeats came in consecutive outings right before the international break. The capital club lost 1-0 to Al Okhdood last time out with the win allowing Al Okhdood to leapfrog them in the table. Al Riyadh have been one of the whipping boys this season and have conceded the third joint most goals with 10.
