Al Hilal will take on Al Fateh in the Saudi Pro League at the Kingdom Arena on Friday.
Hilal are unbeaten in the league, having won 25 and drawn two out of the 27 matches they have played. They have been simply sensational, even without their injured star Neymar. They have the chance to extend their lead at the top to 12 points over second-placed Al Nassr if they beat Al Fateh. And defeating Al Fateh should be a pretty straightforward task for the in-form league leaders.
Al Fateh are sixth in the standings and have managed to win three out of their last four matches. However, they still need a miracle to pull off a win over Al Hilal away from home. Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
