Al-Hilal vs Al-Qadisiyah: Prediction and odds on the Match on 13 September 2025

Al-Hilal missed out on the chance to claim the league title, which they lost to Al-Ittihad last season, and all hands are now on deck to reclaim that lost title with increased competition in the Saudi Pro League. Al-Hilal will face Al-Qadisiyah in a highly anticipated Saudi Pro League Round 2 clash at the Kingdom Arena, looking to build on their strong start. Al-Hilal, under new manager Simone Inzaghi, kicked off their 2025-26 campaign with a convincing 2-0 win over Al-Riyadh, with goals from Malcom and Moteb Al-Harbi. 

Al-Qadisiyah, who made it to the Saudi Pro League last season after 4 years in the second division, made their comeback worthwhile with a 4th-place finish ahead of top teams like Al-Ahli and Al-Ettifaq. They also kick-started the new season with a thunderous 3-1 victory over newly promoted Al-Najma. It's always a tough encounter between the teams, and we are about to witness another spectacle at the Kingdom Arena on Saturday. Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Al-Hilal: form and statistics

Al-Hilal lost the league title to Al-Ittihad last season; they’d have hoped to retain their league title, but Al-Ittihad emerged as champions. Hilal finished in second place with 8 points behind champions Al-Ittihad, with 23 wins,6 draws, and 5 losses from 34 league games played. Hilal participated in the FIFA Club World Cup, where they were knocked out by Fluminense in the quarterfinals. Aleksander Mitrovic, who has now moved on to Al-Rayyan SC, finished as the top scorer for Hilal with 18 goals to his name this season, followed by Marcos Leonardo with 17 goals. Hilal also finished as the team with the highest goals scored in the league last season, with 95 goals to their credit. 

With increased competition in the Saudi Pro League, Al-Hilal has added a few new talents to bolster its squad. Theo Hernandez joined from AC Milan, and Darwin Nunez joined from Liverpool to take his place in the Blue Waves' frontline. Ahead of this contest, Al-Hilal carries the required momentum after their 2-0 victory against Al-Riyadh with goals from Malcom and Moteb Al-Harbi. 

Al-Hilal: Possible Lineup

Al-Hilal has been in the market for new players, and they’ve acquired quite a few players from top teams this season. Darwin Nunez joined Liverpool to fortify the team's attack. Theo Hernandez also joined from AC Milan. Inzaghi started his campaign in the Saudi Pro League on a great note with a win in his first game. Darwin Nunez didn't get the desired debut for Al-Hilal in their season opener, but we tip him for a goal on Saturday. 

Hernandez did not feature in the season’s opener, but we believe he might be subbed in against Al-Qadisiyah on Saturday.

Player to watch out for: Darwin Nunez

The Liverpool forward didn't get the desired start in his debut, but he will be hoping to get his first goal for Al-Hilal on Saturday.

Al-Qadisiyah: form and statistics

Al-Qadisiyah had a sensational run in the league last season, finishing fourth in the Saudi Pro League with 68 points – 21 wins, 5 draws, and just 8 losses from a total of 34 games played. The story that began as a tale is now one to be remembered for ages. Al-Qadisiyah came from the junior tier, exceeded expectations in the Saudi Pro League, finished 4th ahead of other top teams, and also secured a finals spot in the Saudi King's Cup for the first time since 2005- when they last played a final- which they eventually lost to Champions Al-Ittihad. 

Coach Michel managed the boys effectively last season, and his leadership brought them closer than they’ve ever been to a title since 2005. Some players have left the club, including Aubameyang, who departed on a free transfer to Marseille; however, the team remains solid. Last season, Julian Quinones led the team's efforts in goals with 20 goals to his name. Another top striker who made waves for Al-Qadisiyah last season was Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who also scored 17 goals for Al-Qadisiyah. However, that chapter is now over as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has moved back to Europe. 

They kick-started the new season with a commanding 3-1 victory against newly promoted Al-Najma. As always, Julian Quinones, who was the top scorer for Al-Qadisiyah, stamped his name on the scoresheet in their season opener with the second goal of the game. Mateo Retegui got a brace with goals in the 5th and 95th minutes, respectively. 

Al-Qadisiyah: Possible Lineup

Coach Michel will try to adjust to life without his point man, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who also scored 17 goals last season. Mateo Retegui has now taken his place in front of the goal, and he is settling in really well with a brace in the season opener. Michel will field his best players in the regular 3-5-2 formation spearheaded by Quinones and Retegui. Ali Hazazi and Nandez will hold down the midfield. 

Player to watch out for: Julian Quinones

Julian Quinones is a masterpiece for Al-Qadisiyah. He scored a total of 20 goals last season for Al-Qadisiyah with an average of 0.7 goals per game and 1.9 shots on target per game. He has also started his scoring campaign this season with a goal in the season opener against Al-Najma. 

🔖 Al-Qadisiyah starting lineup (4-4-2)

Casteels – Nacho Fernandez, Al-Shamat, Gaston Alvarez, Yasir Al-Shahrani – Ali Hazazi, Nandez, Al-Juwayr, Al-Ammar– Julian Quinones, Mateo Retegui
