Al-Hilal are set to play against bottom placed Al-Raed in the third game of the Saudi Pro League season.
Al-Hilal recently lost to Al-Nassr in the Leagues Cup final, succumbing to a brace from Cristiano Ronaldo. The Riyadh based club has won one and drawn one of their two league games so far. Neymar, Al-Hilal's new superstar, was presented in front of the home crowd in the previous game but according to manager Jorge Jesus, the 31-year-old is still carrying an injury and might not be able to play until September.
Al-Raed are currently placed at the bottom of the table with no wins and two losses from their opening two games. They have conceded four goals so far in the competition, having lost 1-0 to Abha in the previous game.
