General match analysis
Al Hilal go into this match in excellent form, having won five consecutive games, scoring 15 goals and conceding just 3 during that run. Away from home, the visitors have won every match so far, averaging 4 goals scored and just 0.5 conceded per game. Their superiority in chance quality is clear: Al Hilal’s average xG stands at 2.58 compared with 1.83 for Al Shabab, while their opponents allow 1.62 xG. Al Shabab have failed to win any of their last five matches, recording 3 draws and 2 defeats, and conceded an average of as many as 3 goals in their two home games. The hosts are capable of creating chances, averaging 16.5 shots per game, but Al Hilal generate significantly more — 24, including 9 on target compared with 5 — making an away win the most likely outcome.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Al Shabab have recorded BTTS in 100% of their league matches so far, while this figure remains a solid 80% over their last five games. The hosts have kept no clean sheets, conceding an average of 2.0 goals per match, while Al Hilal have scored as many as 3.0 goals per game across their last five fixtures. Al Hilal should therefore be very likely to score, supported by an average of 2.06 xG and 9 shots on target per match. Al Shabab’s chances are boosted by their 1.8 xG over their last five appearances and the fact that, despite their excellent form, Al Hilal conceded 0.6 goals per match during this period. However, the BTTS - Yes pick is only moderately strong, as Al Hilal have kept clean sheets in 50% of their matches this season, while their BTTS rate stands at just 40% in their last five games.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The strongest selection is Over 1.5 goals, as both teams have had 100% of their matches finish with at least two goals. Al Hilal have averaged 3.0 goals scored in their last five matches and created chances worth 2.06 xG, while Al Shabab conceded 2.0 goals per game during this period, with 1.69 xG allowed in front of their own goal. The hosts should also contribute offensively: their average xG stands at 1.80, although Al Hilal’s defense has allowed opponents just 0.6 goals and 0.89 xG in their last five appearances. The projected total of 3.30 goals exceeds the league average of 2.89, but the visitors’ solid defense reduces confidence in Over 2.5 and especially Over 3.5. The 1.5 line therefore has by far the highest probability, as even a one-sided scenario dominated by Al Hilal should produce a minimum of two goals.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Al Hilal are in significantly better form, having won their last five matches, while Al Shabab have failed to win any of their last five and averaged just 0.6 points per game. The visitors were leading at the break in each of their last five matches, scoring an average of 2.2 goals before half-time and conceding just 0.2, whereas the hosts were level at half-time in as many as 80% of their matches during this period and have a negative goal difference of -1. Al Hilal’s superiority is also evident in their chance creation: their average xG stands at 2.58 compared with Al Shabab’s 1.91, while their shots on target average 9.0 versus 5.0. The visitors’ defence has conceded an average of 0.6 goals across their last five matches, compared with 2.0 for the hosts, strongly supporting the scenario of them holding onto a lead. The most likely outcome is therefore an HT/FT 1/1 result, with Al Hilal taking the lead before half-time and securing the victory by full-time.
