Al-Hilal fear falling victim to a curse that has been absent for five years in the Saudi Roshn League, one first suffered by their neighbours and traditional rivals Al-Nassr, as they face Al-Taawoun.<\/p>\n
The Riyadh giants travel to Al-Taawoun tomorrow, Saturday, at the latter’s stadium in Buraidah, in the seventh round of the Saudi Roshn League.<\/p>\n
Al-Hilal arrive off the back of their first defeat of the season, a two-goal loss to Neom last Monday in the sixth round.<\/p>\n

“The Boss” want to avoid a repeat of that curse, one they last endured around five years ago when they lost two league matches in a row.<\/p>\n
It happened in December 2021. Al-Hilal fell to Al-Nassr by two goals to nil, then lost the following round to Al-Fateh by a score of 3-2.<\/p>\n
Since then, the capital club have not lost back-to-back league games, with the worst result after a first defeat being a draw in the next match.<\/p>\n
Al-Hilal currently top the Saudi Roshn League on 15 points, ahead of Al-Nassr and Al-Qadsiah on goal difference, who sit second and third respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Al-Hilal fear falling victim to a curse that has been absent for five years in the Saudi Roshn…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":613082,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[270944,277563,20870,120878,277561,277562,85,46,24484,105],"class_list":["post-613081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-al-khaleej","tag-al-khaleej-vs-al-nassr-fc","tag-al-nassr-fc","tag-al-hilal","tag-al-taawoun","tag-al-taawoun-vs-al-hilal","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-saudi-pro-league","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=613081"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613081\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/613082"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=613081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=613081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=613081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
