On Sat Oct 15th, in week 8, Al Ta’ee plays host to Al Hilal in a Pro League match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but hot day with daytime temperatures of 28 degrees, which hopefuly doesnt affect the pace of the match. Al Ta’ee is fresh off their 2-0 shutout win against Al Raed. Guy Mbenza Kamboleke struck first for Al Ta’ee in the 18th minute, then Amir Sayoud added another in the 36th minute In the end, Al Raed couldn’t muster any offence and Al Ta’ee ran away with the shutout win. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Al Ta’ee should be reasonably happy with their performance, while 4th placed Al Hilal is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Al Shabab. Moussa Marega scored the first goal for Al Hilal in the 21st minute, then Carlos tied it up for Al Shabab in the 56th minute on a feed from Hattan Bahebri squeezing out at least the one point for Al Shabab. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Al Hilal should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Al Hilal won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Both Luciano Vietto and Moussa Marega have been the hottest scorers for Al Hilal in the last five each having scored 2 goals each. Al Ta’ee’s top weapon lately has been Knowledge Musona, who has three goals in the last 5 matches.
