Al-Hilal continued its series of positive results on the continental level, having succeeded in achieving a valuable victory over Al-Gharafa of Qatar with a score of 2-1, in the fourth round of the AFC Champions League held at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in the capital, Doha.

Al-Hilal is now shifting its focus towards the Saudi Professional League, as it prepares to face Al-Najma next Friday, as part of the eighth round of the Roshan Saudi League, with ambitions to continue advancing towards the top of the standings.

Al-Hilal enters the match occupying third place in the Saudi league table with 17 points, while aiming to close the gap with the leaders and improve its position in the local competition, while Al-Najma is at the bottom of the table without any points, making the match of great importance to both sides.

Al-Hilal had achieved a hard-fought victory over Al-Shabab in the last round of the Saudi league with a score of 1-0, continuing its strong performances despite absences and fatigue resulting from the intensity of matches in recent times.

On the Asian front, Al-Hilal strengthened its lead in Group B after raising its tally to 12 points from four matches, achieving a perfect score in its journey so far in the prestigious continental championship.

The fans of the leader are eagerly awaiting the team to continue delivering strong performances both locally and continentally, especially with the imminent return of some injured players, which gives Inzaghi wider options before entering more critical phases of the season.

Al-Hilal remains a prominent candidate to continue shining both locally and continentally, given its technical and physical readiness and its pursuit of new achievements that enhance its presence on the football scene.
