Al-Hilal vs Abha prediction and betting tips on December 21, 2023
Game Prediction
The current year will be remembered for the sharp elevation in the significance of football in Saudi Arabia. The clubs of the country have garnered star power, and now the local Pro League truly presents itself as an esteemed tournament rather than a championship of stellar veterans. Currently in its 18th round, the leader, Al-Hilal, hosts Abha. Is there intrigue in such a match? An exclusive forecast for the match on December 21, 2023, has been posted on the website.
Al-Hilal is reclaiming its positions.
The "Leaders" rightfully carry their nickname. They boast 18 championship titles, including the gold obtained in 2020-2022. However, the previous season was unsuccessful for the grand club as they slid down to third place. In response, they appointed Georges Jesus as the coach in the summer and signed new talents such as Ruben Neves, Milinkovic-Savic, Koulibaly, Malcom, Bunu, Mitrovic, and even Neymar, who, despite playing only three times, contributed to an impressive statistic. Only a couple of opponents in the Pro League and Navbahor in the Champions League managed to secure at least a draw. In the last round, they secured a "grandmaster-like" 2-0 victory against Al-Wahda.

Abha - practically the complete opposite of their opponent.
The "Leaders of the South" played in the third division of Saudi Arabia in 2018. After two promotions, however, upon reaching the "top," the club consistently lingered at the bottom of the table. In the previous season, for instance, they finished in thirteenth place. In the summer, they attempted to strengthen the team, but the signings do not impress as much: Mikhnevich as the coach, Krychowiak, Teterusanu, and Toko-Ekambi in the squad. Slawomir has already left the country, which is not surprising, considering his team was on the brink of relegation. Nevertheless, even without the Pole, they failed to improve, continuing their string of defeats. They managed to secure only a draw against Al-Hazm, thanks to a goal from the Polish midfielder.
