Al Wehda are all set to host Al Hilal in match week 33 of Saudi Pro League 2024-25 season. The interesting league contest between the two teams will take place at the Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Sports City Stadium.
Al Wehda will be at home, which will be a slight advantage for them. They will be under pressure after they put up a poor show against Al Hilal previously this season. Al Wehda are placed 15th on the Saudi Pro League table and are looking to avoid relegation. They will be looking for positive outcomes in their remaining fixtures.
