Vladimir Mineev – Rafael Carvalho. The Russian paratrooper can do anything.
Al-Hilal had an excellent transfer campaign. He signed several famous footballers and also appointed the experienced Jorge Jesús as head coach. He began the new season by reaching the final of the Arab Champions Cup, losing to Al Nasr (1-2).
In five matches of the Saudi Arabian championship, the “leaders” only tied with Al-Feikha (1-1). They won the ball by a wide margin and took up to 20 shots, eight of which were on goal. It’s a miracle they didn’t win. Jesus’ team beat Abha (3-1), Al-Raed (4-0), Al-Ittifaq (2-0) and Al-Ittihad (4-3).
In five games, Al-Hilal scored 14 goals. Eight of them were built between them by former Zenit striker Malcolm and former Fulham striker Alexander Mitrovic. In the near future they will have the support of Brazilian star Neymar. He recently recovered from an injury and joined the national team for the 2026 World Cup qualifying matches.
Neymar helped his team beat Bolivia (5-1) and Peru (1-0). In both games he showed useful actions. In the match with the greens, the forward scored a double and gave an assist. Thus, he surpassed the legendary Pelé in number of goals with the national team and became its top scorer.
Peruvian shamans performed a ritual to curse Neymar before their team’s match against Brazil. They even went to the trouble of putting an altar on the side of the Lima stadium. However, this did not help. The striker scored an effective pass at the end, in the 90th minute. His football magic cannot be neutralized by any spell.
Riyadh was not as active in the transfer market as Al-Hilal. This is not surprising, because he has much fewer resources and is not as popular as the “leaders.” The fact that the Club managed to sign Auxerre midfielder Birama Touré and Betis striker Juanmi can be considered a success.
Riyadh also changed coaches. He appointed former Omonia coach Yannick Ferrera to the position. In five Pro League matches, his players only beat Al-Wahda (1-0) at his stadium. In all statistical parameters and in terms of quality of play, they lost.
Riyadh also tied with Damak, which is in the relegation zone (2-2). They lost to Al-Ittihad (0-4), Al-Raed (0-3) and Al-Ohdud (0-1). Thus, the team is in 15th place in the standings. The difference with Damak is only one point.
If the club loses and loses a lot in the meetings with the outsiders, what will happen in the match with Al-Hilal, which is at the top of the standings and is improving from match to match? Most likely, the “leaders” will win with a landslide or even large score.
You can bet that Al-Hilal will already win a total of over 3.5 goals at bookmakers with odds of 2.10. Jorge Jesús prefers open and offensive football. His players score regularly and a lot, but they also tend to concede goals.
Prediction and bet for the match of round 6 of the Saudi Arabian championship “Al-Hilal” – “Riyadh” on September 15, 2023
Al-Hilal seems to be the main favorite of the Saudi Arabian championship. They even managed to beat the reigning champion away from home without Neymar. At their stadium, the “leaders” should easily defeat Riyadh, which has much fewer reserves. The opponent loses even to obvious outsiders and gives up a lot. This is a real gift for Malcolm and Mitrovic.
Tender: Victory for Al-Hilal and the total was more than 3.5 goals in 2.10.
