Al Hilal can set a new Guinness world record of consecutive wins in all competitions.
The Riyadh-based club’s season is going exceptionally well. With a nine-points gap at the top of the Saudi Pro League table above city-rivals Al Nassr, A-Za’im (The Boss) are now eyeing a new world record in straight victories in all competitions.

If Al Hilal manages to get the desired win and break the record at their arch-rivals’ ground in Jeddah next week, the scenes coming out from Saudi Arabia will likely be an unusual view.
