Al Ittihad host Al Hilal at King Abdullah Sports City, Jeddah on Thursday, Apr 8 at 7:00 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 1 point in the Saudi Professional League, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.
Al Ittihad come into this fixture in red-hot form (4W from last 5). Al Hilal travel in red-hot form (4W from last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, Al Ittihad face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Al Hilal have won 7 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.4 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Al Ittihad a slight edge, but Al Hilal are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
