Al-Nassr FC vs Al-Hilal FC Prediction: Who will win the Saudi Super Cup?

Before the commencement of the new season later this month, Al-Nassr will fight for the Saudi Kings Cup against arch-rivals Al-Hilal at the Prince Sultan Bin Abdul Aziz. Al-Nassr won the semi-finals against Al-Taawon on Wednesday with Ronaldo getting on the scoresheet as usual. At the same time, Al-Hilal advanced on Penalties after a 1-1 full-time draw against Al-Ahli. There’s so much history between these teams and we expect nothing short of an outburst of emotions when they meet on Saturday. Please see the carefully prepared tips.

Al-Nassr had an amazing run in the league last season as they were on fire all through the season although they faltered in their dreams of a Saudi pro league victory. They now aim for the Saudi Super Cup title on Saturday before the commencement of the league. In the semi-finals against Al-Taawoun, Cristiano Ronaldo was involved in the two goals in that game as he assisted Ajman Ahmed, the goal in the 8th minute before his goal in the 57th minute. Al-Nassr have to win this game as they cannot afford to lose two consecutive finals to Al-Hilal. Al-Nassr will give this their all. 

More importantly, Cristiano Ronaldo was the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League last season and we are more than ready to witness his masterclass this season as the Saudi Pro League teases its resumption. 

Al-Hilal had an amazing run in their campaign last season as they won the Roshan Saudi League for the 19th time in their history and they achieved it with an unbeaten record in the league. Hilal achieved immense success last season and they are hoping to start this season with another addition to their trophy cabinet as they take on Al-Nassr on Saturday. In the semifinals of the Saudi King's Cup against Al-Ahli, Al-Hilal conceded a goal in the 66th minute and advanced to the finals on penalties as they were saved by a late-minute equalizer from Mitrovic in the 90th minute of the game. They have yet another opportunity to defeat Al-Nassr in a final for the second time in a row after their victory against them in the King's Cup finals last season. 

A critical look at the last 20 games between them produced 12 wins for Hilal, 6 wins for Nassr, and 2 draws.

Looking ahead to the first battle of the new season between two exceptional teams in the Saudi league. It is first important to highlight their performances in the just concluded season. Al-Hilal won the league with an unbeaten streak in the league, while Al-Nassr showed strength trailing behind them in second place. We're expecting an exciting showdown with both sides pushing for goals as this has always been the case whenever these two teams clash. We predict that both teams will find the net here.
