Al-Ettifaq
Al-Ettifaq is coming off a narrow 1-0 victory against Al-Faisaly in their previous fixture. This win ended a streak of three matches without a victory (1 draw, 2 losses) for the team. Al-Ettifaq currently sits in the middle of the league table, and with only a few matches left, they aim to finish the season on a high note.
- The team has not lost in regular time in 4 of their last 5 home matches in the Saudi Pro League (3 wins, 1 draw).
- Al-Ettifaq has scored at least one goal in each of their last 7 home games in this tournament.
- In 5 of Al-Ettifaq's last 7 home matches in the Saudi Pro League, both teams have scored.
Al-Hilal
Al-Hilal, on the other hand, secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Al-Taawoun in their last outing. The team has been in excellent form, winning their last three matches in the league. Al-Hilal is currently in the hunt for the league title and will be looking to continue their winning streak to maintain pressure on the league leaders.
- The team has won 5 of their last 6 away matches in the Saudi Pro League.
- Al-Hilal has kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 4 away games in this tournament.
- At least one of the opponents failed to score in regular time in 4 of Al-Hilal's last 6 away matches in the Saudi Pro League.
Al-Ettifaq vs. Al-Hilal: Match Prediction
Al-Ettifaq has shown resilience at home, but they will face a tough challenge against a high-flying Al-Hilal team. Al-Hilal has been dominant both offensively and defensively in recent matches, and they will be eager to continue their pursuit of the league title. Al-Ettifaq's defense will need to be at its best to contain the attacking threat posed by Al-Hilal.
Given the current form of both teams, I expect a competitive match, but Al-Hilal's quality should see them through. My prediction: Al-Hilal to win
