Al Riyadh vs Al Hilal: Both Teams NOT to Score at 1.74

Analysis by Tunde Okafor

Europa League, Conference League, Turkey & Saudi ·

Al Hilal sit top of the Saudi Pro League while Al Riyadh have managed just 4 goals in their last five, and the goal numbers point to a low-scoring home night. Our pick is both teams NOT to score at 1.74.

Form & Context

Al Hilal's recent form line is the strongest thing about this fixture.

  • Al Hilal's last five: 4W 0D 1L, scoring 13 and conceding 5.
  • Al Riyadh's last five: 2W 2D 1L, scoring only 4 and conceding 6.
  • Al Riyadh have seen BTTS in 1 of 5; Al Hilal in 2 of 5.
  • Table: Al Hilal are 1st with 21 points from 8, Al Riyadh 11th with 9.
  • The most recent meeting between them finished 1-1 in January.

Fixture Switch

This game has been moved, so team news deserves caution.

  • The Saudi Pro League rescheduled the fixture from 16 October to Saturday 19 December 2026.
  • The league cited minimum rest periods and logistical and operational requirements.
  • No confirmed Al Riyadh injury or suspension could be verified from current sources.
  • Al Hilal's last official XI, for the 10 October Al Ittihad win, is historical rather than a projection for December.
  • Before that Al Ittihad match, Simone Inzaghi said the readiness of Al-Dawsari, Theo Hernandez and Savic would be assessed in the final training session, according to Al Hilal's official site.

The Numbers

The goal models lean towards a one-sided, low-scoring home night.

  • Expected goals: Al Riyadh 0.79, Al Hilal 2.81.
  • The most likely score is 0-2.
  • Both teams to score is rated at 46%, against 54% for our pick.
  • Al Riyadh's recent home games read 2-0, 1-0 and 0-0.
  • Best price on our pick is 1.74, with a fair line of 1.87.

Key Matchup

Al Riyadh's route to a goal looks narrow against this defence.

  • They scored in only some of their recent outings and lean on late moments, with Trezeguet netting in the 92nd minute at Al Fayha.
  • Two of the last five head-to-heads ended 1-1, showing the home side can find one goal.
  • Al Hilal's away day at Al Sadd finished 2-0 to them, with a clean sheet.
  • The visitors have the far bigger attacking upside, so the risk sits with the home side scoring at all.

Three reasons we like this tip

  1. 1Al Riyadh have scored only 4 goals in their last five and have BTTS in just 1 of those 5.
  2. 2Al Hilal's expected goals of 2.81 and the 0-2 most likely score point to a clean-sheet away win.
  3. 3Both teams to score is rated at 46%, below the 54% for our pick.

Verdict

Our call is both teams NOT to score at the best available odds of 1.74, landing on the most probable outcome rather than a generous price. The main risk is Al Riyadh nicking a goal at home, exactly what happened in that 1-1 draw in January.
