Al-Hilal vs Al-Shorta Prediction and Betting Tips | November 25th 2025

Al-Hilal will host Al-Shorta at the Kingdom Arena on Tuesday in the fifth round of the league phase of the 2025-26 AFC Champions League Elite campaign. The hosts will be confident to continue their impeccable form and get a result that could confirm their place in the knockout stages.

Al-Hilal have had a perfect start to their continental campaign this season with four wins from four, most recently defeating Qatari side Al-Gharafa 2-1 in their last ACL game. The Blue Waves, who now sit atop the West Region league table, have since picked up two wins in their domestic league to extend their win streak to 11 games and will be looking to continue such stellar form and possibly book their place in the knockout rounds.

Al-Shorta, on the other hand, are yet to win a continental game this season and currently sit in second-to-last place in the West, with just one from 12 obtainable points but will remain hopeful of getting a top-eight finish with four games to go.

The Iraqi side suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Iranian side Tractor in their last Champions League game but managed to get a solid 3-0 win in their domestic league during the weekend and will hope to carry on such form when they travel to Saudi Arabia.
