Al-Ahli’s draw clearly reinvigorated the competition, as “Al-Raqi” now has 66 points, just two behind Al-Hilal in third place.
On the other hand, Al-Hilal dominated the match against Al-Khaloud with a 6-0 victory, bringing them within striking distance of Al-Nassr, set to face Al-Akhdoud next Saturday.
With six matchdays left, the Jeddah club still has a chance at the title, especially if they rely on a stumble from the Moudjahidines to catch up. Their offense, scoring 63 goals in 24 matches, continues to make a difference. The statistics speak for themselves: Al-Hilal scores 1.8 goals per game compared to Al-Ahli’s 1.5, a level of efficiency that could be decisive in the title race. Behind this distance duel, Al-Nassr, currently in the lead, still has a comfortable margin before their match against Al-Akhdoud, but they know any slip-up could reignite the suspense. Beyond the numbers, the momentum favors Ramón Díaz’s men: with four consecutive wins and only one loss since the start of the year. Meanwhile, Al-Ahli has been inconsistent, with two draws and one win in the last three matchdays.
