Al Hilal will be looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the 2023/24 Saudi Pro League season on August 24 as Jorge Jesus’ side head to Al Raed.
Despite losing out to rivals Al Nassr in the Arab Club Champions Cup final earlier this month, their league form has been solid, as Jesus looks to bed in a host of new signings at the club.
The veteran Portuguese boss has seen a huge surge in transfer investment this summer, as part of the club’s PIF-backed revamp, but the pressure will be intense to turn that into trophies in the months ahead.
The Sporting News takes a look at how you can watch the latest Saudi Pro League match and the betting odds.
