Preview: Al-Hilal Vs Al-Riyadh
Jorge Jesus’ men are just two points below Saudi Pro League leaders Al-Ittihad.
Al Hilal are all set to host Al Riyadh on matchday 20 of the Saudi Pro League 2024-25 season. Jorge Jesus’ men dropped points in two of the last three league games due to which they dropped to the second spot in the league table. Al Riyadh are in the seventh spot after their okayish performances.
Al Hilal will be looking to grab three important points in their upcoming league game so that they can get back to the top. They are a top attacking side in the league and will surely focus on scoring a good number of goals against their next opponents. They will have to focus on their defence which has been loose in their last few games. Damac scored a couple of goals leading the Blue Waves to drop a couple of points.
Al Riyadh don’t have the best defensive record. Amidst these, they will have to do their best and stop the Saudi giants from netting in goals.

About Saudi Pro League:
History
The Saudi Pro League (SPL), known as the Roshn Saudi League (RSL)for sponsorship reasons, is the highest division of association football in the Saudi league system.
The first season of competition was the 1976–77 season. The league had been operating as a round-robin tournament from its inaugural season until the 1989–90 season, after that the Saudi Federation decided to merge the football League with the King's Cup in one tournament and the addition of the Golden Box. The Golden Box would be an end of season knockout competition played between the top four teams of the regular league season. These teams would play at a semi-final stage to crown the champions of Saudi Arabia. The league reverted to a round-robin system in the 2007–08 season..
The association is also regularly ranked with the highest coefficient in Asia due to the successful and consistent performances in the AFC Champions League Elite, Asian Super Cup & Asian Cup Winners' Cup by its clubs. Al-Hilal is the most successful team, holding 19 titles in its history and most recently winning the title in 2023–24. Al-Shabab, Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr are also some of the most successful teams in the league.
Beginning in 2023, the league started experiencing widespread international exposure due to attracting numerous top level players from European leagues through financially lucrative contracts, immediately becoming a star-studded league. The nation's Public Investment Fund took 75% stakes in four founding members (Al-Ahli, Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal, and Al-Nassr) in the same year as part of the Saudi Vision 2030 program.
