Al Hilal will take on Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League at the Abdullah Al Dabil Stadium on Monday. Neymar's team is unbeaten this season and top of the standings after 20 matches. They have a seven-point lead over the second-placed Al Nassr.
Al Hilal are heading into this game on the back of a 3-1 second-leg (6-2 aggregate) win over Sepahan in the AFC Champions League which helped them book their place in the quarter-final. It is difficult to predict anything other than a win for Hilal, as their opponents are eighth in the standings with only half of Hilal's accumulated points - 28 from 20 games.
