Prediction Al Najma vs Al Hilal 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Pro League on 07/11/2025

Match preview: David and Goliath at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium

The Pro League heads to Buraydah on 07/11/2025 where Al Najma, rooted to the foot of the table, will host an Al Hilal side steaming with confidence. The venue, King Abdullah Sport City Stadium, will hold almost 30,000 fans, but those seats are unlikely to be split evenly: Al Najma sit 18th with seven defeats from seven, five goals scored and 16 conceded. Their recent run has been unforgiving — losses to Al Akhdoud (2-1), a cup exit to Al Kholood after extra time, and a 5-1 hammering away in mid-October underline persistent defensive problems and a lack of cutting edge. Al Hilal arrive in stark contrast, unbeaten in the league with a record showing five wins and two draws from seven matches, 18 goals for and just 6 conceded. Recent victories include a 2-1 win away in the AFC Champions League Elite against Al Gharafa and domestic results that show a team finding its stride.

Tactical outlook and decisive edges

The numbers paint a clear picture: Al Hilal average 16 total shots per match and have produced 50 shots on target across the campaign, while Al Najma manage just over nine shots on average and only 19 on target. Al Hilal’s attack potency coupled with four clean sheets suggests they can both score and keep opponents quiet. Al Najma’s defensive record at home is worrying — four goals conceded at home and only one goal scored on their turf — and their form shows no respite, with zero league wins and a series of sobering results. The gulf in dangerous attacks and overall attacking intent (Al Hilal’s near 101 attacks average vs Al Najma’s 61) is the tactical fulcrum for this clash.

Prediction and betting tip

Bookmakers have already reflected this mismatch: Al Hilal are overwhelming favorites, with prices around 1.13 and an implied probability exceeding 88%. Given the evidence on form, shot volume, goal returns and defensive solidity, the clean, pragmatic call is to back Al Hilal in the 1X2 market.
