With four wins in their last five duels against Al Tai, Al Hilal have dominated this matchup recently. In fact, Al Tai are still looking for their first win ever against Al Hilal after nine meetings with this team, in which Al Hilal have recorded eight wins, along with one draw.

Al Hilal preview: Closing out the amazing season

With two rounds left in the Saudi Pro League, Al Hilal have already been crowned champions and they are close to ending the season without a loss in the league. On top of that, Al Hilal have already won the Saudi Super Cup and they'll meet with Al Nassr in the King Cup final, so this season could get even better for them.

Of course, the loss in the AFC Champions League semi-final to Al Ain still hurts, despite it being the only loss so far this season, across all competitions.

Meanwhile, Al Hilal remains without Neymar, who's out for the season, while Salem Al-Dawsari is also injured at this time.

Al Tai preview: Hoping to stay out of the relegation zone

After two draws and a win in the last three games in the Saudi Pro League, Al Tai enter the final two rounds outside of the relegation zone. However, they are ahead of the two teams in the zone by only two points, so things are far from over for Al Tai when it comes to the relegation battle, especially since their next match is against the new champions Al Hilal.

When it comes to team news, Abdulkarim Al-Sulaiman, Hussain Qasim, and Enzo Roco are on Al Tai's injury list at the moment.

Player to watch: Aleksandar Mitrovic

It's hard to look past the Serbian striker as the player to watch given that he's having an amazing season, leading Al Hilal as the top scorer with 27 goals in the league.

Mitrovic to score a header?

We've seen how lethal Mitrovic can be with his head while he played at Fulham and he showed that at Al Hilal too, scoring eight of his 27 league goals after headers.
