On Tuesday, at the "Kingdom Arena" in Riyadh, the semifinal match of the Saudi Super Cup will take place, featuring a clash between Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli. Here’s a match prediction from the Dailysports expert team.
Al-Hilal
Jorge Jesus's team had a remarkable season, securing the championship title well before the end of the tournament. They finished 14 points ahead of their closest rival, Al-Nassr. In addition to the league title, Al-Hilal reached the semifinals of the AFC Champions League and won the Saudi Super Cup.
The team capped off last season with a victory over Al-Nassr in the King Cup. The match was extremely tense, with many yellow cards and three red cards. The winner was not decided in regular time, and the trophy was settled by a penalty shootout, where Al-Hilal emerged victorious.
Al-Ahli
The "Fortress of Trophies" finished third in last season's Saudi Pro League. The team accumulated 65 points over 34 rounds, but the gap to second place was a staggering 17 points. However, Al-Ahli ended the season on a high note, securing three wins and one draw in their last four matches.
In preparation for the new season, Al-Ahli played four friendly matches without suffering a defeat. They beat opponents like Al-Gharafa (1-0), Újpest (1-0), and Al-Riyadh (2-0). The only team to halt their winning streak was Austrian side Grazer, with a 3-3 draw.
Interesting Facts and Head-to-Head History
