Last hour from Al Hilal – Al Khaleej:
There are only seven days left and in the Saudi Pro League is almost everything to decide. Doubts are found mostly in the head of the classification: right now, the leader is to Ittihad, Karim Benzema’s team, but to Hilal, the historic par excellence, does not want to give up. In order not to lose the wake of the first classified, those of Jorge Jesus have to start by winning Al Khaleej.
This meeting, corresponding to day 28 of the Saudi Pro League, begins today, Thursday, April 17, at 5:50 p.m. From now on, we tell you live at Marca.com all the information and novelties that surround this match. In the first leg, Al Khaleej surprised to be imposed on the one who was also second classified by 3-2. Those of Georgios Donis traced an adverse 0-2 to leave the three points in their fief, and want to do the same at their rival’s house.
The Hilal arrives at the game, therefore, with an imperative need to win, if it does not mean by its chances of obtaining the title prematurely. Those of Jorge Jesus are not at their best: they come from drawing against Ittifaq away from home, but in their last encounter as premises they lost against the Nassr de Cristiano Ronaldo 1-3, moving further away in that persecution to Ittihad.
Al Khaleej, meanwhile, plays with total peace of mind. Stabilized around the tenth place since February, those of Georgios Donis also do not accumulate a very good streak in recent games (a victory, four draws and five losses in the last 10 days), but they are not worried in excess given their qualifying situation. The last meeting of Al Khaleej was a 1-5 house loss against Fateh, sixteenth in the table.
