Al Hilal, the only unbeaten team in the Saudi Pro League will take on 14th-placed Al Akhdoud in what can be described as a mismatched clash. A win for the Neymar-led side would take them to the top spot.
Al Hilal have won six of the eight league games so far this year, and have drawn the other two, whereas Al Akhdoud has won just two. This Saturday, the game will be played in the Prince Hathloul Bin Abdul Aziz Sport City Stadium and kick off at 4 pm UK time.
