**Riyadh, Saudi Arabia** – Defending champions Al-Hilal look to regain their winning form tonight as they host Al-Akhdoud in the Saudi Pro League. The match, scheduled for 8:45 PM IST (Indian Standard Time) at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, comes after Al-Hilal’s surprising defeat to Al-Qadisiyah. The team faces added pressure as they battle Al-Ittihad for the league title.

Al-Hilal will be without injured striker Aleksandr Mitrovic, relying on Leonardo and Malcom to fill the void in attack. Midfielders Ruben Neves and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic will be key to controlling the game’s tempo. Meanwhile, the news of Neymar’s departure to Santos has dominated headlines, adding another layer of intrigue to the match.

Al-Akhdoud, currently 13th in the league, arrive with a mixed recent record (two wins, three losses in their last five matches). Their defense, anchored by Naif Asiri, will face a stern test against Al-Hilal’s potent attack.

Indian viewers can watch the match live on Sony Sports Ten 5 or stream it online via SonyLIV (subscription required). Despite Al-Hilal’s recent setback and the absence of key players, they are widely expected to secure a victory at home.
