In a potentially pivotal match in the race for the Saudi League title, Al-Hilal's first football team is preparing to face their counterpart Al-Raed this evening, amidst great fan anticipation.

Al-Hilal enters the match under the supervision of interim coach Mohammed Al-Shalhoub, who continues to lead the leader during one of the most sensitive periods of the season, as the spotlight is on his performance and tactics.

The technical staff of Al-Hilal has determined the list of foreign professionals who will participate in the match, which includes only eight names despite the availability of a larger number, in a notable technical decision.

The list includes Moroccan Yassine Bounou, the blue fortress's goalkeeper, alongside veteran Senegalese Kalidou Koulibaly in central defense, providing the team with high defensive solidity.

The list also includes Brazilian trio Renan Lodi, Malcom de Oliveira, and Caio Cesar, in addition to Serbian players Sergej Milinković-Savić and Aleksandar Mitrović, and Portuguese Ruben Neves.

This selected foreign lineup reflects Al-Hilal's desire to secure the three points, especially since the team is well aware of the importance of every point in the decisive rounds of the league.

Al-Hilal is expected to play with a cautious attacking strategy, benefiting from the experiences of the foreigners and their harmony, in light of the absence of some influential elements from the rest of the lineup.

The fans of the leader hope that this match will be a significant step towards the title, and that Al-Shalhoub will successfully lead the team to overcome this challenging test.
