The fight to escape relegation continues for Al-Wehda, and this has helped them produce good performances in their last five league games, with 3 victories and two losses. Al-Wehda is just two points shy of the relegation zone, and a defeat against Al-Hilal, with a corresponding victory for Al-Orobah against Al-Qadisiyah, will mean that Al-Wehda will slip right back into the relegation zone. They drew the first blood in their last league game against Al-Qadisiyah courtesy of a goal from Nigerian-born Odion Ighalo, but it wasn’t enough to give them the lead as they fell later on in the game with goals from Aubameyang and Puertas. The game eventually ended in a 3-1 defeat to Wehda.
It’s a very critical moment for Al-Wehda, but they can still escape relegation if they secure a win or a draw here, alongside prayers for an Al-Qadisiyah victory over Al-Orobah (which is most likely to happen).
Wehda has a lot to play for if they intend to remain in the Saudi Pro League next season. They are in a tight spot, and they’ll most likely need more than a miracle to overpower Hilal. This isn’t the time for complacency. They are currently 15th in the league with 9 wins, 5 draws, and 18 losses from the 32 league games they’ve played.
Al-Wehda: Possible Lineup
Daniel Carreno will field all his available players as he needs the best out of them, and he’ll most likely repeat the same squad that played Al-Qadisiyah last week. Odion Ighalo, who remains the team's second top scorer this season, will likely lead Carreno’s attack alongside Noor and Goodwin. Daniel Carreno will try to be more offensive this time around with his tactics.
🔖 Al-Wehda starting lineup (4-3-3)
Al-Owisher – Al-Hafith, Makki, Al-Salem, Al-Muwallad – Bacuna, Al-Hejji, Bekshween– Noor, Goodwin, Odion Ighalo
👤 Head coach: Daniel Carreno

Al-Hilal: form and statistics
It is now 13 goals in the last three 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. They are no longer gunning for the Saudi Championship title as Al-Ittihad has already claimed what’s theirs, but Al-Hilal must maintain the second position in the league so as to qualify for the AFC Champions League next season.
Now, all the road points to next season for Hilal, but like I said earlier, they must ensure their qualification to the AFC Champions League next season is intact, and that's what Wednesday’s encounter against Wehda is all about.
Their last league game against Al-Fateh was a cracker; a total of 7 goals was netted in that game, and they’d have scored more if the referee hadn’t blown the final whistle. Bendebka opened the scoring for Al-Fateh with two goals in the first 24 minutes of the game, but Hilal evened the score in the second half. Batna scored again for Al-Fateh to make it 3-2 in the 82nd minute, but Mitrovic responded with two goals in the 85th and 92nd minutes, respectively, to give Al-Hilal the win.
Aleksander Mitrovic is the current top scorer for Hilal with 18 goals to his name this season, followed by Mitrovic with Marcos Leonardo with 17 goals. They are second placed in the league table with 22 wins, 5 draws, and 5 losses from 32 games. Hilal is also the team with the highest goals scored in the league this season, with 92 goals to the good.
Al-Hilal: Possible Lineup
Jorge Jesus maintained that 4-1-4-1 formation against Al-Fateh and it was really pivotal as it allowed for a more attacking and counter-attack approach. However, I suspect he will redeploy this same formation with Mitrovic as the lone forward. Marcos Leonardo might come off the bench in the second half.
🔖 Al-Hilal Probable starting lineup (4-1-4-1)
Bono – Renan Lodi, Koulibaly, Ali Albulayhi, Khalifa Al-Dawsari, — Ruben Neves — Malcom, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Mohamed Kanno, Salem Al-Dawsari – Aleksandar Mitrovic
👤 Head coach: Jorge Jesus

Al-Wehda FC vs Al-Hilal FC match prediction 21 May 2025
A lot is on the line for both teams. For Wehda, 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 has not lost a game against Al-Wehda in their last 7 meetings, and I do not think there will be any surprises for Hilal. However, we can be sure of one thing: there will be goals, and 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, which ends up producing lots of corners. We envisage a high-attacking game.
Our match prediction: is a total of over 9.5 corners for a coefficient of 1.69 in the 1xBet bookmaker.
Our betting tip on the match: is a total of over 3.5 goals for a coefficient of 1.74 in the Betway bookmaker.
Lastly: A total of over 2.5 goals and both teams to score for 1.67 odds in the Bet365 bookmaker.
