Al Fateh vs Al Hilal prediction 16.05.2025 | Saudi Professional League

• Competition: Saudi Professional League
• Date: Friday, 16th May 2025
• Kickoff: 16:55 UK / 17:55 CEST
• Venue: Al Fateh club stadium (Al-Hofuf)

Al Fateh probably expected an easier season. With only three rounds left, the team from Al-Hofuf is only three points above the relegation zone. The problem for Al Fateh is that they have a pretty tough schedule, and it will not be surprising if we see them in the second level of Saudi Arabian football next season. Al Fateh are in a good form lately. They were in a run of six games without defeat until last weekend, when a team from Al-Hofuf lost 1-0 on the road against Al-Wehda. The guests finished the match with 66% ball possession and 11 shots on goal, more than the home side, so the defeat seems undeserved. 

Al Hilal have the highest ambitions in Asian football, but this year, they weren't good enough, and with six points fewer than Al Ittihad and only three games left, it seems unrealistic for them to defend the title. Al Hilal played well lately as they won three of the last four matches in all competitions. In the previous game, Al Hilal won 4-0 at home against Al Orubah. Although the home side scored two goals late in the game, it never felt like the guests could come out with anything from that match. 

Al Fateh vs Al Hilal pick: Over 3.5 goals

Al Fateh and Al Hilal had one h2h match this season. In that game, Al Hilal won 9-0. We shouldn't expect that kind of brilliance from Al Hilal on Friday, but four goals in the upcoming tie seems a realistic expectation.
