Well, statistically and based on squad depth, I'm pretty sure Al-Hilal is the favorite. Historically, and based on head-to-head results, Al-Hilal is clearly favored. However, we can't rule out the possibility of unexpected outcomes. Therefore, I'll refrain from placing large bets early in the season. I want to see more matches before feeling confident, having a good understanding of and assessing all the teams' performances this season. At the start of the season, we should just bet a little for fun, unless we're prepared to take the risk. The start of the season is always full of surprises. Even favorites can lose in unexpected ways.
But Al-Hilal can sometimes maintain an unbeaten streak for several weeks at a time. So I sometimes bet on Al-Hilal without hesitation. But at the start of the season, it's best to hold off on betting too much. Especially against Al-Qadisiyah, whose squad depth is actually quite balanced. Al-Qadisiyah also boasts several highly qualified star players from Europe.
And remember, Al Hilal now has a highly qualified manager. Simone Inzaghi has a wealth of experience from his time coaching Inter Milan for the past few seasons before joining Al Hilal. He has extensive experience in major leagues. So, he could make Al Hilal a tough team to beat in the Saudi Pro League. Although Al Hilal has been a tough team for the past few seasons, my point is that Al Hilal could be even stronger than in previous seasons.
