Omo, make we talk wetin dey happen for Saudi Pro League… Al Okhdood don dey prepare for serious match against table-topper Al Hilal wey go happen on February 5. Na dis match go determine if dem go fit survive relegation wahala.
Al Okhdood dey struggle like say dem dey run race with snail! As e be now, dem dey sit for 17th position for table, with only 10 points from 19 matches. Every time dem play, na wahala! Dem get just 2 wins and 4 draws, while the other 13 don turn to losses. E be like say dem go need serious miracle to escape relegation.
Their last match finish for 1-1 draw against NEOM SC, but abi that one fit help them? Na only God fit sabi! E be like say dem need to step up their game, because their attackers no dey show face at all. Dem don score only 15 goals for 19 matches, with their best scorer na their captain, Saeed Al-Rubaie, wey be defender. No be small matter!
Meanwhile, Al Hilal dey burst ground as league leaders, sit-down with 47 points after 19 matches. Dem don win 14 and draw 4! The way dem dey play, e no go surprise me if dem collect trophy at the end of dis season. But for dis match, dem need to shake off the recent draw trend wey don catch dem like our ogbonge pepper soup. Dem don draw three matches in a row, pressure don dey pile for their neck!
Wetin dem do last time e sweet my belle! Al Hilal don win all their last six matches against Al Okhdood. History dey on their side as dem sabi how to handle these boys. If dem fit maintain their unbeaten record, e go sweet their fans well well.
And no forget say Al Hilal also get their new superstar, Benzema wey don just transfer from Al Ittihad, na im dey boku for ground! But make I clear you say dem go enter this match without their top defender, na that one fit change matters. This one go be serious challenge for dem.
So, as dem dey prepare, we dey hope say Al Okhdood fit gather sense and play like say dem wan survive. If dem no fit turn things around for dis match, e go hard for dem. Fans dey expect plenty goals, or will it be another hat-trick of clean sheets for Al Hilal?
No matter how e go end, one thing dey sure — this match go be thriller for the fans as dem dey root for their teams. Abeg, make we all sit down, grab our popcorns and enjoy the show! Let the best team win!…
