Wahala dey for Al-Riyadh as dem prepare to face Al-Hilal wey dey rule the league like king! This match go happen for Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium on Sunday, January 25, 2026, and Al-Riyadh no dey fit catch breeze for dis league. Dem never win match for their last 10 league games, na 4 draws and 6 losses be their story so far. Dem be like one player wey just dey chase ball, no dey find goal!
As e stand, Al-Riyadh don manage only two wins after 16 matches, meaning dem dey risk as dem fit waka go relegation zone if wetin dem dey do no change quick. Dem start di season like potential champions but now na wetin dem no fit win na im go talk for dem biography. Dem even manage only one win from di first five games, and dat one don scatter as dem draw three and lose six games after dat.
For defense, na dia wahala de pass as dem don concede 36 goals, dis one na di highest for di league! Di coach Carreno fit send di same team wey play last match, as dem no get injury wahala. Who go lead di attack? Na Mamadou Sylla wey get six goals, plus Teddy Okou and Ibrahim Bayesh go support am from di wings. Na dem dey try carry di team on dia shoulders!
But make we no forget Al-Hilal o! Dem be di league leaders with 41 points, dem don almost make di title dem own! Dis season, Al-Hilal no dey play, na dem dey shine like diamond. Dem don win 13, draw 2, and dem no even lose one match. Dem dey vex when e come to scoring, as dem don score 40 goals while dem concede just 14! If dem continue dis way, na dem go collect di trophy at di end o!
Al-Hilal don show sey dem strong when dem play away, cause dem don win six out of seven away games. Dem go use di match as chance to increase dia lead for di table as dem dey chase di title from Al-Ittihad. Simone Inzaghi, di gaffer for Al-Hilal, dey plan to put di pedal to di metal as dem dey come face Al-Riyadh again, wey dem don beat in di first leg 2-0.
For di match, Al-Hilal fit miss Ruben Neves, wey get yellow card wey go keep am on bench for dis match. E get plenty quality for am as e dey help di team with opportunities and goals. But no worry, Al-Hilal still get plenty firepower wey fit fire di Al-Riyadh team!
Di match dey set for wahala as Al-Riyadh dey fight for survival while Al-Hilal dey fight for glory. If Al-Hilal win dis match, dem go separate demself from Al-Nassr by 10 points! If Al-Riyadh fit get any points for dis match, e go be like dem don win di lottery. Omo, as di matter be, I fit predict sey Al-Hilal go run away with dis match, maybe 3-0, because e dey look like dem no go fit handle di pressure!
