Watkins & Toney face off, title foes, fervent fans: Why Al Hilal vs Al Ahli is MUST-WATCH

It feels too early in the season to be talking about campaign-defining matches, but this week’s clash between Al Ahli and Al Hilal certainly has that feel about it.

After Al Ahli’s surprise defeat last time out against Al Kholood, they can ill-afford any further early slip-ups, while Al Hilal will be hoping the momentum from the transfer window can carry onto the pitch as they look to keep pace with champions Al Nassr at the top of the Roshn Saudi League.
