Competition: Saudi Pro League

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 4/7 @ 1xBet

In what is a heavyweight Saudi Pro League showdown on Monday evening, Al-Hilal will welcome Al-Ahli to the Kingdom Arena.

Starting with the hosts, while Al-Hilal might have been forced to settle for consecutive Pro League stalemates over the past week, Simone Inzaghi’s men are still leading the chase at the top of the table. Regarded as a standout contender to reclaim their domestic crown in 2026, the former Inter Milan boss has certainly made a real impact since arriving at the Kingdom Arena. In fact, the Blue Power have put 46 points on the board from their 18 Pro League showdowns this season and they are yet to suffer a single top-flight defeats (14 wins, four draws). Receiving a fearsome reputation from across Saudi’s elite, Al-Hilal have also continued to shine with their clinical performances in the final third. Storming their way to a 4-1 romp at home against Al-Fayha on January 22nd, Monday’s hosts have notched 47 Pro League strikes this season and hold the second-best attacking tally in the division. However, it should also be highlighted, Inzaghi’s high-flying squad have failed to register a clean sheet from any of their last five outings.

As for the visitors, while Al-Ahli might have been frustrated last season as they eventually had to settle for a fifth-place finish among Saudi’s elite, the Royals have come roaring back in a remarkable fashion this time around. Last seen putting in another dominant display as they stormed their way to an emphatic 4-0 romp at home against Al-Ettifaq, Matthias Jaissle’s men are riding a major wave of momentum. Currently sat in bronze medal position, the Whites have their sights firmly set on clinching a lucrative AFC Champions League return in 2026. Likewise, travelling to their historic rivals on Monday evening sat just three points adrift of top spot, the former Salzburg boss has seen his rampant squad win all of their previous eight consecutive Pro League showdowns – a purple patch that stems back to a 2-1 loss against Al-Fateh on December 26th. It should also be highlighted, Jaissle’s side have notched 11 goals in just their previous three top-flight battles and they will be confident of asking some serious questions here.

Bet: Both teams to score at Al-Hilal vs Al-Ahli 4/7 for Monday’s Saudi Pro League battle @ 1xBet
