Abha – Al Hilal preview: Recent form, latest news, and probable lineups

Read about these two teams ahead of their upcoming duel here, including our predicted Abha vs Al Hilal lineups:

Abha

With 33 points from 30 matches in Saudi Pro League last season, Abha finished just five points ahead of the first team that was relegated to Division One. So, it wasn't a great season for the team, although it was in line with the team's expectations. The lower-half finish seems in line for Abha once again, even though their fans are hoping for a more stable season.

Abha predicted lineup:

Epassy – Al Oufi, Noguera, Natiq, Al Qumayzi – Kamano, Krychowiak, Bguir, Al Sadi, Al Jumaiya – Caicedo

Al Hilal

Despite their lost in Arab Champions Cup final to Al Nassr, Al Hilal showed in this tournament that they are ready to fight for the title in Saudi Pro League this season after finishing third in the season behind us. The team brought a few big names over the summer, including Malcolm, Neves, Koulibaly, and Milinkovic-Savic.

Al Hilal predicted lineup:

Al Owais – Abdulhamid, Koulibaly, Al Bulaihi, Al Obaid – Kanno, Neves, Michael, Milinkovic-Savic, Al Dawsari – Malcom

Player to Watch: Sergej Milinkovic-Savic

Since we can see Al Hilal winning this match, our player to watch comes from their team and it is their summer signing Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, who signed for them from Lazio.

For a few years now, the Serbian midfielder has been among the best players in Serie A and given his age, it is one of the biggest signing that we saw in this transfer window in Saudi Pro League.
