AL Hilal will restart their superb season with a home game against Al Riyadh and will look to continue from where they left off for the international break.
Neymar's side has won four of their opening five Saudi Pro League matches and will aim to remain unbeaten in the competition on Friday.
Prediction on Al Hilal vs Al Riyadh
For the Al Hilal vs Al Riyadh prediction, we say Al Hilal to win first half and this is why. Al Hilal won in the first half in two of their last three league matches and in two of their last three home matches and as a result, their chances of winning before the halftime whistle against AL Riyadh are huge. Neymar's side beat Al-Ittihad 4-3 before the international break and should they replicate that form on Friday, they would likely win both halves against Riyadh.
Prediction: Al Hilal 3-0 Al Riyadh
We predict Al Hilal vs Al Riyadh to finish with over 2.5 goals and this is why. Six of Al Hilal's last eight competitive matches ended with over 2.5 goals while three of Al Riyadh's last five matches finished wit at least three goals.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
Match Preview on Al Hilal vs AL Riyadh
Al Hilal are unbeaten in the Saudi Pro League this season so far, having won four and drawn one in their opening five matches. They headed into the international break with a big comeback 4-3 win over Al-Ittihad away from home. The SPL leaders will look to continue from where they left off when they host Al Riyadh on Friday.
AL Riyadh have endured a dreadful start to the season, having lost their last three Saudi Pro League matches against Al-Ittihad, Al Raed and Al Akhdoud. With their underwhelming performances, it's clear that they are unlikely to bounce back to winning ways this week at Al Hilal.
