**Riyadh, Saudi Arabia:** Reigning Saudi Pro League champions, Al-Hilal, will be looking to extend their perfect start to the season when they host Al Fayha at the Kingdom Arena on Friday afternoon.
The Blue Waves currently sit atop the league table with a flawless record of six wins from six games, a testament to their dominant form. They have also been a force in the AFC Champions League, topping Group B after winning their first two matches.
Much of Al-Hilal’s success can be attributed to their prolific attack, led by Serbian striker Aleksander Mitrovic, who has already bagged 9 goals in the league, including two braces in the last match against Al-Malaki.
Al Fayha, on the other hand, are struggling to find their footing, currently sitting in 14th place with only five points from their first six matches. They have been particularly hampered by their lack of goals, scoring just five times all season.
Although Al Fayha managed to secure a draw against Al-Hilal in their opening game last season, they have since lost three out of their last four matches against the champions and are considered underdogs in this encounter.
Despite the absence of injured goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, Al-Hilal are expected to field a strong lineup and secure a comfortable victory. However, with Al Fayha desperate for a win, the match could prove to be a challenging one.
