Al-Hilal went big during the transfer window attracting prominent players like Neymar, Mitrovic, and Ruben Neves. Though Neymar has been declared out for the season, they have enough talent in the tank to see the team lifting the trophy at the end of the season.
Aleksandar Mitrovic, Salem Al-Dawsari, and Malcom have been in fine form this season racking up goals for fun.
Al-Nassr is in the second position, just behind Al-Hilal. Cristiano Ronaldo has been firing for them upfront with 16 goals and 8 assists this season. Talisca and Sadio Mane have been brilliantly complimenting him.
However, they didn’t have a match in gameweek 17. They are the only ones who can compete against the mighty Al-Hilal who are unstoppable at the moment as the gap between the top two teams has grown to 10.
