Al-Hilal vs Al-Shabab Prediction and Betting Tips | October 31st 2025

Al-Hilal will face Al-Shabab at the Kingdom Arena on Friday in another round of the 2025-26 Saudi Professional League campaign. The home side are flying at the moment and have climbed up to third-place in the league table, four points behind Al-Nassr at the top of the pile.

They beat reigning champions Al-Ittihad last time out in the league, taking the lead via an own goal in the first half before Marcos Leonardo doubled their advantage in the second. The Brazilian was on the scoresheet once again on Tuesday as they beat Al-Okhdood 1-0 to advance to the quarterfinals of the King’s Cup.

Al-Shabab, meanwhile, have had a sluggish start to their season and find themselves in the bottom half of the pile as they round up the first quarter of the campaign. They were held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man Damac in their last league outing, but returned to winning ways on Tuesday as they beat Al-Zulfi 1-0 in the domestic cup.

The visitors sit 12th in the league table with six points and will be keen to add to that tally come the weekend.

Al-Hilal vs Al-Shabab Prediction

The Blue Waves are on a remarkable seven-game winning streak across all competitions and are undefeated in competitive action this season. They are unbeaten in their last seven home games and will head into the weekend clash full of confidence.

Al-Shabab's latest result ended a five-game winless run and they will be looking to build on that this weekend. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams could, however, see the visitors lose this one.
