Al-Hilal FC vs Al-Ahli FC Prediction: Hilal are the favorites to advance to the finals

Ahead of the commencement of the new season, Hilal will take on Al-Ahli in the semifinals of the Saudi Super Cup. Hilal who are the current champions of the Saudi Arabia League will be aiming at adding another title to their cabinet this season. Al-Ahli on the other hand had a great run in the Saudi Pro League last season finishing in second position and securing a qualification to the AFC Champions League elite next season. As usual, we expect an outburst of attacking abilities in this game with both teams aiming for the back of the net and a ticket to the finals. Please see the carefully prepared tips.

Al-Hilal had an amazing run in their campaign last season as they won the Roshn Saudi League for the 19th time in their history and they achieved it with an unbeaten record in the league. They also won the Saudi Kings Cup in May where they defeated rivals Al-Nassr in penalties. With the new season set to start in the middle of August, Al-Hilal would like to set the pace for a successful season ahead by winning the Saudi Super Cup and it all begins with the game against Al-Ahli. 

Al-Ahli had an incredible campaign in the Saudi Pro League last season finishing in second place with a qualification to the AFC Champions League Elite next season. They finished the league with a total of 19 victories, 8 draws, and 7 losses from a total of 33 games played. It is safe to say that their heavy investments on plates paid off and we are excited to see a revamped Al-Ahli side ready to compete once again for the Roshn Saudi League this season. 

A close analysis of their last 20 games produced 11 victories for Al-Hilal, 4 victories for Al-Ahli, and 5 draws.

It is pertinent to note that it’s always a battle when these two teams clash and we do not expect less from this tremendous encounter. Hilal have gotten the better of Al-Ahli in recent times with Hilal emerging victorious in their last 3 encounters. Hilal have not been defeated by Al-Ahli in their last 6 encounters and the last time Al-Ahli won a game against Hilal was as far back as 2020. This forms the basis of our first prediction as we sternly believe that the current Saudi Pro League champions will not lose to Al-Ahli on Tuesday. A win or draw and a total of over 2.5 goals for Al-Hilal at 1.77 odds is a great betting choice. 

Al-Ahli is also a great team with amazing players and they will not go down without a fight, we can expect goals from both teams and a total of over 2.5 goals at 1.86 odds.
