Al-Fayha vs. Al-Hilal: Match Prediction
Al-Fayha has shown grit at home, but they face a daunting task against a high-flying Al-Hilal side. While Al-Fayha will look to keep things tight defensively, Al-Hilal's attacking prowess could prove too much for the hosts. Given the recent form of both teams, my prediction: Total under 3.5 goals
