Tony's Target Practice: Ivan Tony Torments Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League
Tony continues to torment Al Hilal as Al Ahli push for the title.

Preview

Al Ahli Jeddah visits arch-rivals Al Hilal tonight, Monday, at the Kingdom Arena, in the 20th round of the Saudi Pro League. Al Hilal lead the standings on 46 points, three clear of Al Ahli.

Al Hilal have been one of the biggest victims of Englishman Ivan Tony, Al Ahli's striker, ahead of the highly anticipated clash.

Head-to-Head & Tony's Form

The sports paper 'Al-Riyadiyah' noted that Tony has faced Hilal in four matches and found the net six times.

It also confirmed that Hilal is the Saudi side that has conceded the most goals to the 29-year-old Tony.

Tony joined Al Ahli Jeddah in 2024 from Brentford, with his contract through 2028.

He currently tops the Saudi Pro League scoring charts with 18 goals.

Punchline 1: If Tony keeps this pace, even the back of the net will start charging him rent for using it so often.

Punchline 2: The only thing sharper than his shots might be his calendar—fully booked all season, apparently.
