Al-Hilal vs Al-Najma - Prediction, Team News, Lineups Al-Hilal SFC will host Al-Najma at the Kingdom Arena on Friday in Matchday 25 of the Saudi Pro League, aiming to sustain their position in the title race. The hosts, currently third in the standings, remain unbeaten in domestic fixtures, while the newly promoted visitors struggle near the bottom of the table. Al-Hilal have accumulated 58 points from 24 matches, with 17 wins and seven draws, scoring 62 goals and conceding 23. Their home record is particularly strong, with nine wins and three draws in 12 league games at the venue. Simone Inzaghi’s team has also shown resilience, securing three wins and two draws in their last five matches, including a 5-3 victory over Al-Shabab. Their attacking prowess and midfield control make them a formidable force. Al-Najma, however, face significant challenges following their promotion. Sitting 18th with just eight points from 24 matches, the team has managed only one win, five draws, and 18 losses. They have conceded 54 goals while scoring 22, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities. Their away form is equally poor, with no victories in 12 league matches outside their home stadium. Recent results have been discouraging, including a 3-1 home defeat to Al-Akhdoud. Under Nestor El Maestro, consistency has been elusive, and they have failed to keep a clean sheet in eight consecutive games. Al-Hilal’s historical dominance over Al-Najma adds to the hosts’ confidence, including a 4-2 victory in a previous encounter. However, their prior top-flight meetings predate the 2000s, making this a fresh challenge. The visitors’ struggles in the Saudi Pro League are evident, and this match represents another test against a top-tier side.#al_hilal_sfc #al_najma #simone_inzaghi #nestor_el_maestro #kingdom_arena
