A potential effortless win for the front-runner?
Under the Lens: Al Hilal versus Abha
On Thursday, December 21, face off at King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh as part of the 18th round of the Saudi Arabian League. Let's scrutinize the strengths, weaknesses, and prospects of both teams.
Al Hilal
Machinery of Champions:Al Hilal marches steadily toward its 19th championship title, demonstrating a relentless form. Their last points loss in the championship, under the leadership of Jorge Jesus, was a fortunate draw against Damak, way back in late September! If powerful Al Nasr couldn't impede Al Hilal from extending its winning streak, it's unlikely that Abha and Al Feiha will manage it either.
Minor Concerns:Neymar's injury might cause a minor hiccup, but his absence hardly affects the team's playing qualities, considering their impressive roster.
Abha
Quality and Struggle:Under the guidance of Tunisian coach Youssef Al Manaa, Abha has shown signs of improved results following the coaching change. However, the team is now grappling with the harsh realities of relying on motivation alone. The team has lost five of the last six matches, struggling to hold their own in the defense.
Stars Failing to Shine:If star players like Krychowiak and Toko-Ekambi barely justify the money spent on their transfers, there's still a lot of work to be done to strengthen Abha's defense. With such a vulnerable rear guard, challenging the leader and strongest team in the country seems like a daunting task.
Interesting Observations
- Al Hilal holds the title of the team with the best attack and defense in the championship
- Abha ranks second to last in the table in terms of goals conceded
- Abha has conceded nearly half of all the goals (20 out of 41) in the last 5 games
The Odds Speak
In the Fonbet bookmaker's office, the odds for an Al Hilal victory stand at 1.08. The odds for a draw are 9.20, and the prospect of an upset victory by Abha is rated at 20.00.
Odds Breakdown
Al Hilal - Abha
- Al Hilal to Win (P1) - 1.08
- Draw (X) - 9.20
- Abha to Win (P2) - 20.00
The Showdown Prediction
This match appears one-sided, with Al Hilal's offensive lines expected to outmaneuver Abha's less-than-impressive defense. However, there's a chance that Al Hilal might be feeling the pressure of constant victories, dampening their defense a bit.
We recommend taking a chance on the total over 4 goals in this game at a relatively favorable coefficient of 2.09. A score of 4:1 or 5:1 seems likely, although even a 5:0 would not disappoint.
