A Battle for Supremacy in the Saudi Pro League
The Saudi Pro League continues to heat up as Al-Hilal SFC hosts Al-Shabab FC on 31 October 2025 at the King Fahd International Stadium, Riyadh. This highly anticipated fixture promises drama, intensity, and top-tier football as two of Saudi Arabia’s biggest clubs lock horns once again.
⚽ Current Form and Team Overview
Al-Hilal SFC – Chasing the Top Spot
Al-Hilal have started the 2025/26 Saudi Pro League season in stunning fashion. Sitting third on the table with 14 points, the Blue Waves have registered four wins and two draws in their opening six games, scoring 17 goals and conceding only six.
Under the guidance of Simone Inzaghi, Al-Hilal have developed a fluid attacking style, pressing high and dominating possession. The likes of Aleksandar Mitrović, Malcom, and Sergej Milinković-Savić have been instrumental in their success. Their 2-0 victory over Al-Ittihad in their last outing highlighted both their attacking sharpness and defensive discipline. At home, Al-Hilal remain a formidable force — boasting two wins and a draw this season. With the crowd behind them, they’ll be aiming to maintain their unbeaten run and close the gap at the top of the table.
Al-Shabab FC – Searching for Consistency
For Al-Shabab, the 2025/26 season hasn’t started as planned. The team currently sits 12th in the league with only 6 points from six matches — managing one win, three draws, and two losses.
Coach Imanol Alguacil has struggled to bring consistency to the side. While Al-Shabab has moments of promise, they often falter in the final third. Their recent 1-1 draw against Damac FC shows the need for improvement in both attacking efficiency and defensive organization.Away from home, Al-Shabab remain winless so far this season, recording two draws and no victories. The lack of a clinical finisher has been their Achilles’ heel — something they must address if they want to challenge Al-Hilal.
