In a thrilling Saudi Pro League encounter at the Kingdom Arena, Riyadh, Al Hilal and Al Shabab played out a 2-2 draw on April 21, 2025. The match defied the AI's pre-game prediction, which favored an Al Hilal victory with a 52.2% probability. The AI model did not anticipate a balanced game, but the evenly contested match proved otherwise. Daniel Podence gave Al Shabab an early lead in the 7th minute, but Sergej Milinkovic-Savic equalized for Al Hilal in the 31st minute. Salem Al-Dawsari put Al Hilal ahead just after halftime in the 46th minute, but Mohammed Al Shwirekh secured a draw for Al Shabab with a goal in the 68th minute.
Al Hilal, playing in a 4-2-3-1 formation, had slightly more possession (52.8%) than Al Shabab (47.2%), who deployed a 4-3-3 setup. However, Al Shabab edged Al Hilal in shots on target, registering 7 compared to Al Hilal's 6. In terms of shots, Al Hilal made 14, and Al Shabab made 13. Al Shabab's discipline was poorer, accumulating 5 yellow cards compared to Al Hilal's 2. Al Hilal's save total was 5, which was slightly higher than Al Shabab's 4. This draw marks a slight stumble for Al Hilal, who had been in relatively good form, winning three of their last five games before this match, with one draw and one loss. Al Shabab, on the other hand, had a mixed run, with two wins, one loss, and two draws in their previous five outings.
Looking at the head-to-head record, Al Hilal has historically dominated Al Shabab, but this draw suggests that Al Shabab is becoming a more competitive opponent. For Al Hilal's next game against Al Raed, they will need to improve their conversion rate, as their recent games show a tendency to concede goals. Al Raed, despite their recent struggles including multiple losses, cannot be underestimated, as they have shown the ability to score, demonstrated by their recent 4-0 win against Al Orobah. Al Shabab's next match against Al Fateh will be a test of their consistency, as Al Fateh has been in decent form, winning three of their last five games. Considering recent form and head-to-head records, both Al Hilal and Al Shabab will need to strategize carefully for their upcoming matches. The previous game between Al Hilal and Al Shabab ended with Al Hilal winning 2-1.
