Al-Hilal vs Al-Raed: Predictions, odds and best tips

On February 18, Al-Hilal will be hosting Al-Raed at the Prince Faisal Bin Fahad stadium.

Here is how bookies rate both teams' chances (odds provided by Megapari):

Al-Hilal - 1.15

Draw - 8.70

Al-Raed - 12.00

Al-Hilal

Al-Hilal are having an almost perfect season! Seven points are separating them from second-placed Al-Nassr, and third-placed Al-Ahli are trailing Al-Hilal by 13 points.

Most importantly, Al-Hilal are dominating the league without their biggest star, Neymar Jr, who is still recovering from the injury he picked after just three games. With their front three of Mitrovic, Milinkovic-Savic and Malcom, they are literally unstoppable!

Al-Raed

Before the start of the Asian Cup, Al-Raed won two games but then they were forced to take a break.

There are no world-class stars on their roster but some names should be familiar to global fans: goalkeeper Andre Moreira used to play at Atletico Madrid and Aston Villa, midfielder Mathias Normann used to play at Norwich, and attacker Julio Tavares spent a few good seasons at Dijon.

Al-Hilal's results in friendlies show that the lack of official games didn't affect their form.
