Al Hilal vs Al Qadisiya prediction: A close contest with plenty of goals
Key stats
- With 4.06 total goals per game, Al Hilal have the highest average in the league.
- Both teams have scored in 67% of Al Hilal's matches in the Saudi Pro League so far.
- Al Qadisiya have won five of their last six games in the league and they've already beaten Al Hilal once earlier this season.
Correct score prediction: Al Hilal 2-2 Al Qadisiya
While Al Qadisiya are third and Al Hilal second in the standings, the guests won't be able to catch Al Hilal since they're four points behind them ahead of the final matchday.
So, this game won't affect things much for Al Hilal, who are bound to finish second, but Al Qadisiya could finish third or fourth, which could have impact on whether they get to play continental football next season.
On top of this, Al Hilal are dealing with injuries to key players and Al Qadisiya have a quality team capable of putting up a fight against them, so we wouldn't be surprised to see the guests win on Monday.

- DRAW: 18/5 (4.60) – 21.70%

It's obvious from these Al Hilal vs Al Qadisiya odds that the hosts are the expected winners, which is understandable since they are ahead in the standings and hosting the game.
That being said, Al Hilal haven't been a force this season like the previous one, and they've already lost the title to Al Ittihad. Furthermore, Al Qadisiya was the winner when the two teams met in the first half of the season, so the guests are certainly not without a chance here.

Al Hilal preview: Looking for a victorious ending of the season
The former champions have already given up their crown to Al Ittihad, but at least they have secured a second-place finish in the Saudi Pro League, which leads them to the AFC Champions League Elite for next season. That being said, this season overall has been a poor one for Al Hilal since they will end it with just one trophy, the Saudi Super Cup.
Aleksandar Mitrovic and Leonardo, Al Hilal's top scorers this season, are both out for this game. Kaio Cesar will also miss this match.
Predicted lineup: Bounou (GK), Koulibaly, Al Bulayhi, Al Dawsan, Al Harbi, Neves, N. Al Dawsari, Al Qahtani, Milinkovic-Savic, S. Al Dawsari & Malcolm

Al Qadisiya preview: Hoping to secure continental football
While Al Qadisiya were only promoted to the top flight this season, even before the season started it was clear that they will have a good team and fight for the top. This was exactly the case since Al Qadisiya are third in the standings heading into the final round and a win in this game would ensure they stay there. However, if they fail to win, Al Nassr could overtake them since they're just one point behind.
Al Qadisiya will also play in the King Cup final against Al Ittihad. The Cup winner gets to play in the AFC Champions League Two, but if Al Ittihad wins, that spot will go to the third-placed team in the league. So, Al Qadisiya have to either win the Cup or stay in third in the Saudi Pro League to secure continental football next season.
Predicted lineup: Casteels (GK), Alvarez, Nacho, Mahnashi, Al Ammar, Puertas, Fernandez, Nandez, Al Shamat, Quinones & Aubameyang

Player to watch: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
With 17 goals and three assists in the Saudi Pro League this season, the experienced forward has proven his value for Al Qadisiya, justifying the high salary he gets from the team that was only promoted to the top flight this season.
With Aubameyang and Julian Quinones (21 goals) leading the team up front, Al Qadisiya are on the verge of finishing third in the standings and winning the King Cup, so keep an eye on the former Arsenal player in this match.
