Al-Fateh vs Al-Hilal: Prediction and odds on the Match on 16 May 2025
Prediction for the Saudi Pro League match will occur on May 16th between Al-Fateh and Al-Hilal. Al-Hilal had a rough season. They started the season in great spirits, but they faltered somewhere along the line, and they are where they are at the moment. They lost out on the Saudi Pro League already this season, and with the look of things, Al-Ittihad will stop at nothing to win the championship. However, they remain in second place in the league table, and they must maintain this position to be able to secure a place in the AFC Champions League next season. Fateh still has to maintain this positive outlook as they continue the race to steer clear of the relegation zone. They face a daunting task on Friday at the Prince Abdullahi Bin Jalawi stadium against an opponent they can never forget in a hurry. Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Form in the League: LWDWW
Al-Fateh’s six-game unbeaten league run came to an end at the hands of Al-Wehda in their last league game. The game was a tough and sad one for Fateh because they needed that win, and they even dominated most of the game, but all their chances and big chances were futile in the end. Al-Wehda got an early goal through Abdulaziz Noor in the 8th minute, and manager Daniel Carreno switched up the formation and tightened the defense to stop Fateh from finding the net, which eventually worked out as Al-Wehda went away with the 1-0 victory. Before the defeat to Al-Wehda, Fateh was on a 6-game unbeaten run and a remarkable record if vanquished teams, consisting of Al-Shabab, league leaders Al-Ittihad, and others.
Fateh needs to get back to this momentum as they have not entirely escaped relegation, and they won't want surprises in the remaining league games.
Determined to continue to turn things around, they face a daunting task against Hilal, a team striving to make the top 2 and secure a qualification to the AFC Champions League next season. Can Al-Fateh secure a win against Al-Hilal after 4 consecutive defeats against Hilal? They have only 9 wins, 6 draws, and 16 losses from 31 league games. Mourad Batna and Sofiane Bendebka lead the team on goals with 10 goals each.
Al-Fateh: Possible Lineup
Matheus Machado Ferreira will spearhead the attack in a (4-2-3-1 diamond) formation. Matias Vargas, Amine Sbai, and Mourad Batna, who remains Fateh’s top goal scorer, will play behind Ferreira. Jose Manuel Gomes will repeat his massive attacking style with all his available forwards playing side-by-side. Mohammed Al-Fuhaid is back, and he will most likely captain the squad on Friday.
🔖 Al-Fateh Probable starting lineup (4-2-3-1)
Al-Aqidi – Al-Zarie, Marwane Saadane, Fernandes, Al-Julaydan,— Mohammed Al-Fuhaid, Zaydou Youssouf – Amine Sbai, Matias Vargas, Mourad Batna – Matheus Machado Ferreira
👤 Head coach: Jose Manuel Gomes

Al-Hilal: form and statistics
9 goals in the last two league games for Al-Hilal, and they just might be back to their old glory, the form and power with which they started the league season. But is it too late, or is there still a sliver of hope and possibility lurking around the corner for the Blue Waves? Hilal is now six points behind the current league leaders, Al-Ittihad. Hilal will still fight to the end, even with three games left to the end of the season, but it seems Ittihad will win the Saudi Championship this season. Now, all the road points to next season for Hilal, but they must ensure their qualification to the AFC Champions League next season is intact, and that's what Friday’s encounter against Fateh is all about.
Their last league game, Al-Orobah, was one-sided if you ask me; the Blue Waves dominated the game from the get-go, with Jorge Jesus’s game plan properly executed by the players. Mitrovic got the opening goal in the 28th minute from an assist from Salem Al-Dawsari. Salem Al-Dawsari got his goal in the second half from an assist from Milinkovic Savic before Kaio Cesar got two goals in the additional minutes to give them the well-deserved 4-0 victory.
Marcos Leonardo is the current top scorer for Hilal with 17 goals to his name this season, followed by Mitrovic with 16 goals. They are second placed in the league table with 21 wins, 5 draws, and 5 losses from 31 games. Hilal is also the team with the highest goals scored in the league this season, with 88 goals to the good.
Al-Hilal: Possible Lineup
Jorge Jesus switched things up a bit in their last league game against Al-Orobah and used a (4-1-4-1) formation, which allowed for a more attacking and counter-attack approach. However, I suspect he will go back to his usual (4-4-2) formation, and as always, Alexander Mitrovic and Salem Al-Dawsari will start upfront in the regular 4-4-2 formation by Jorge, and Marcos Leonardo might come off the bench in the second half.
🔖 Al-Hilal Probable starting lineup (4-4-2)
Bono – Hamad Al-Yami, Koulibaly, Al-Tambakti, Motel Al-Harbi — Malcom, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Neves, Cesar – Al-Dawsari, Aleksandar Mitrovic
👤 Head coach: Jorge Jesus

A lot is on the line for both teams. For Fateh, it's the dangers of relegation, while for Hilal, it's a compulsory top 3 finish and a qualification to the AFC Champions League next season, which is already looking feasible. Need I remind you that Hilal got their record win this season against Fateh in the first leg, which ended in a 9-0 humiliating victory but we do not expect a similar result because of whats on the line for Fateh, but there will be goals in this game, and we can bank on that. A total of over 3.5 goals is a very good and interesting betting option. We can also go with the corner bets, as Al-Hilal’s massive attacking style helps them attack their opponents from both flanks.
