Al Hilal
Saudi ArabiaCurrent form
Last season, Al-Hilal easily won the Saudi Arabian championship title, beating Al-Nassr by 14 points, and also reached the final of the Asian Champions League, where they lost to Al-Ain. In the current competition, things are not so simple. In the national championship, the team is in second place, two points behind Al-Ittihad, and in the Western Champions League standings, the team is only second. On November 23, the first defeat of the season occurred. The offender was Al-Khaleej, who won with a score of 3:2. Then there was a draw with Al-Sadd (1:1), and a hard-won victory over Al-Shabab (2:1).

Al-Gharafa is not in the top 8 of the Western Conference standings in the Champions League. In five rounds played, the team has won once, drawn once and suffered three defeats. At the moment, only by additional indicators is the team outside the top eight, but if the results do not improve, the decline will continue, which, of course, neither the fans nor the club management want. The team does not play its best away from home and has not known victories for five matches in a row (three defeats and two draws).
