Al-Hilal vs Al-Fateh Prediction and Betting Tips

Al-Hilal will host Al-Fateh at the Kingdom Arena on Saturday in the ninth round of the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League campaign. The hosts will be confident to continue their impeccable form and potentially close up the point gap from the top of the table.

Al-Hilal took advantage of Al-Najma's reduction to nine men to complete a comeback and get a solid 4-2 win last time out to make it 10 consecutive wins and 17 games unbeaten across all competitions. Simone Inzaghi’s side, who are still four points off the top of the league, are among the favorites to win the Saudi Professional League title by the end of the season, but will need to continue picking up wins and hope Al-Nassr and Al-Taawoun slip up soon enough.

Al-Fateh, on the other hand, have begun the season in appalling fashion with only one win from their opening eight league games and are just one point above the drop zone.

The visitors fell to an embarrassing 5-2 defeat against Al-Taawoun in their last outing and will need to make major improvements in the coming weeks to push higher up the league table and avoid falling into a relegation battle so early in the season.
