At 00:00 on July 29th, Al-Hilal will take on Como in a pre-season friendly match. This is Al-Hilal’s last pre-season match before the season begins, and Como, as a Serie A newcomer, also possesses remarkable strength. As the Saudi Pro League champion faces the Italian newcomer, it will be interesting to see how both sides perform.
In the 2023-24 Saudi Pro League season, Al-Hilal secured the league title with an undefeated record of 31 wins and 3 draws, totaling 96 points. Al-Hilal also won the King’s Cup and the Saudi Super Cup, achieving a treble in Saudi Arabia, further demonstrating their dominance. In the new season, the powerful Al-Hilal will continue their pursuit of championships across all fronts.
In pre-season friendlies, Al-Hilal has triumphed over Wiener Neustadt (6-0), easily defeated Al-Arabi SC (2-0), and suffered a 1-2 loss to Mamelodi Sundowns. They will now face Como. Al-Hilal has not made any significant signings so far, with only four players returning from loan spells. However, these four players have a combined market value (Transfermarkt data) of less than €1 million, and none of them hold a permanent place in the team.
Como is a newly promoted team in the Serie A this season. In the previous season, they competed in Serie B and secured second place with 73 points (21 wins, 10 draws, 7 losses), thus securing a direct promotion to Serie A. In this summer’s pre-season friendlies, Como has showcased impressive strength, defeating Las Palmas (2-1) and easily overcoming Cagliari (3-1).
Como has been active in the transfer market this off-season. They have signed Reina, Varane, Moreno, and Jassim on free transfers, acquired Dossena for €8 million, Braunod for €1.5 million, Kone for €1.5 million, Strefezza for €5 million, Belotti for €4.5 million, and Kovacic (transfer fee undisclosed). The club has significantly strengthened its squad to solidify their position in Serie A.
