Al Hilal Riyadh

vs

Al Feiha

Preview

Al Hilal (home)

• While Hilal are sitting top of the table with 38 points from 14 matches, visitors Al Feiha have picked up just 14 points from 15 games to find themselves languishing in 12th.
• Al Hilal will be looking to make it two wins from two when they return to King Fahd Stadium, where they have not been beaten all season in the league, winning seven and drawing one of their eight matches.
• Simone Inzaghi’s men have made their mark on the division with a free-flowing, possession-based 3-5-2 system that focuses on overloads in wide areas.

Al Feiha (away)

• Al Feiha, on the other hand, set up in a more compact 3-4-3 structure that aims to keep things tight at the back and hit on the break as quickly as possible.
• Pedro Emanuel has done a good job since taking over at the club in December 2024.
• Al-Feiha’s recent form shows the cracks beginning to appear in Emanuel’s previously solid structure, as they have won none of their last five in the league (D2, L3).
  • A 5-0 defeat at Al Qadsiah and a 1-1 home draw against Damac FC in their most recent two assignments have Al-Feiha looking up at the league leaders with more than a little trepidation.
