Al Qadisiya managed to return to the Saudi Arabian top flight division this year after securing promotion by winning the Saudi First Division in a dominant fashion. This season, they surprised everyone with just how well they are playing. They are sitting in 3rd place with 34 points from 16 matches - currently in the spots for the CAF Champions League for the next season. To be fair, they are seven points away from the top spot, but with a potential win here, they would close the gap between them and first-placed Al Hilal. Still, that was not a real goal for them anyway.
Al Hilal are one of the teams that invested a massive amount of money into their club. And, indeed, they are looking like the best team in the country. This season, they are at the top of the league's table with 43 points from 16 matches, but on a level with points with second-placed Al Ittihad. They are also doing great in the CAF Champions League but underperformed recently in the Cup after being eliminated in the Quarter-Finals by Al Ittihad after the penalties.
Al Qadisiya vs Al Hilal pick: Al Hilal to win and cover the -1 AH spread
Al Qadisiya are playing well, no doubt about it. However, if we take a look at their games against the teams from the top four, we cannot say they have been impressive. They only played two games with those teams (Al Nassr and Al Ittihad), winning and losing one game. However, they were outplayed in both of those matches and even in a match they won against Al Nassr, they had almost 2.0 xG less and ten fewer goal attempts. So, we do not really trust the best team in the league.
Al Hilal won six out of the last seven games. The match that they failed to win was in the Cup against Al Ittihad (after the penalties), but Al Hilal was a lot better. They had 2.61 vs 1.84 xG and much more goal attempts.
While both teams are in excellent form, we simply believe that Al Hilal are a better team and should win the match away from home.

Al Quadisiya team news
In the last game against Al Orubah, Julian Quinones suffered an injury late and had to leave the field in the stoppage time. The 27-year-old Mexican is in fantastic form, having scored six goals in the last six appearances. If he misses the game, that will be a massive handicap for the team.

Al Hilal team news
The main story surrounding Al Hilal is about when Neymar and Aleksandar Mitrovic return. However, the Neymar situation is pretty complicated, and it seems that the Brazilian star could move to Santos very soon. According to speculations, Neymar aims to terminate his contract with Al Hilal and join his boyhood club.
When it comes to Mitrovic, the Serbian striker will be sidelined for at least a week with a hamstring injury.
