Only 5 rounds remain until the end of the 2024 Saudi League competition, but Al Hilal can clinch the title early in light of the historic unbeaten streak it is achieving this season locally.
The Blue Wave succeeded in defeating Al-Taawoun, 3-0, in the match that was held on Friday for the 29th round of the Rushen League.
Coach Jorge Jesus’ squad reached the 83rd point, 12 points ahead of the closest competitor, Al-Nassr.
In terms of numbers, Al Hilal now needs only 4 points in order to officially become the champion of the Saudi League competition this season after losing the title last season to Al-Ittihad.
Jesus battalion faces a difficult task when it faces Al-Ahli next Monday in a postponed match due to the Asian match between Al-Ain. Winning it will put the league on the doorstep of Al-Zaeem’s coffers.
After that, Al-Hilal will host its counterpart, Al-Hazm, at its Kingdom Arena, during which a draw will be enough to officially clinch the Roshan League title in the event of a victory over Al-Ahli before that, regardless of Al-Nasr’s other results.
It is noteworthy that Al Hilal is the club that has won the most Saudi League titles, and if it wins a shield this season, it will become the 19th shield in its history.
If Al Hilal wins the league, there will be a good opportunity to achieve the double as well, as it will face Al Nassr in the King’s Cup final at the end of this month of May.
