- Kickoff: 19:00 UK / 20:00 CEST
- Venue: King Abdul Aziz Stadium (Mecca)
Al Wehda are one of the lowest-budget teams in the Saudi Arabian league, so they have to be satisfied with being in a position to save themselves. With only two rounds left, Al Wehda are two points above the drop zone. The team from Mecca has played solidly lately, with four wins in the last six matches. However, in the previous game, Al Wehda lost 3-1 on the road against Al Qadisiya. Although under heavy dominance for most of the match, the guests had a good chance of leaving with at least one point, but the home side scored two goals late in the second half, and Al Wehda walked away empty-handed.
After convincingly defending the title in 2023/24, Al Hilal hoped for a similar outcome this season, too. However, Al Ittihad was better, and two rounds before the end, Jorge Jesus's team ended without a chance of defending the title. After sacking Jesus and appointing Mohammad Al-Shalhoub, things started to be a little brighter for Al Hilal as the team won the last three games in a row. In the previous match, they won 4-3 on the road against Al Fateh. That was far from the best Al Hilal game we have seen this season, but the guests found a way to secure all three points.
Al Wehda vs Al Hilal pick: Over 3.5 goals
Al Hilal played crazy games under Mohammad Al-Shalhoub. In three matches under the caretaker manager, Al Hilal have a 13:6 goal difference. We should expect another high-scoring game on Wednesday when they meet Al-Wehda.

Al Wehda team news
Besides relegation lurking, Al Wehda's another problem is Craig Goodwin's injury. The winger has six goals and seven assists in 28 league matches for Al Wehda this season, so playing without him is another challenge for Daniel Carreno's team.
