Al-Hilal must defeat Al-Fayha and hope league leaders Al-Nassr drop points against Damac to secure the championship in dramatic fashion.
Head-to-Head Advantage
Al-Hilal currently hold the head-to-head advantage over Al-Nassr, meaning they could win the title if both teams finish level on points after the final round.
The Riyadh giants kept their title hopes alive after defeating Neom 2-0 following their crucial draw against Al-Nassr earlier in the title race.
Inzaghi Praises Team’s Domestic Form
Head coach Simone Inzaghi emphasized the strength of Al-Hilal’s season despite their AFC Champions League disappointment, noting that the team has not lost a domestic match this season.
Inzaghi highlighted that Al-Hilal scored 84 league goals and possess one of the strongest defensive records in the competition.
He also praised the club’s performance at the FIFA Club World Cup despite their defeat to Brazilian side Fluminense.
Final Push for the Title
The Italian manager added that Al-Hilal earned six more points than last season and expressed pride in winning the King’s Cup with the club, hoping the team can finish the campaign on a high note.
Football fans across the Kingdom will now focus on Thursday’s decisive clashes between Al-Hilal and Al-Fayha, alongside Al-Nassr versus Damac, as the Saudi Pro League title race reaches its dramatic conclusion.
