Recap
Al Wehda put an end to the negative streak of four games without a win (0-1-3). Having a very good performance on Friday afternoon, against relegation rival Abha. They are +3 points away from direct relegation places with 1 more match, and today have some key absence like Bakshween (16/0), Munir (12/0 first goalkeeper), Kurdi (8/0), Al Rashidi (5/0), Aljayzani (4/0), Al Qarni (4/0), and Al Hajri (1/0). The Asian champions did their duties in AFC and achieved three victories against Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai (3:1), Foolad (1:0), and Al Duhail (7:0). They qualified to finals of the Champions League and are firm favorites to hold the trophy against Japanese Urawa Red Diamonds. After 35 days, they are back with their matches in the league and the difference with their „hated” compatriot Al Nassr is -11 points with three matches less and every loss will cost them a lot. Only absence is Marega (12/4), who was injured in the semi-final against Al Duhail. Al Hilal played „space” football on Saturday in the Champions League semi-final, and against Al Wehda are huge favourites for an easy win.
