The fact that Al Hilal has made it all the way to the semifinals of this competition gives them reason to believe they can once again compete at the highest level. This team cruised to a convincing 1-3 victory over Al Ittihad in the quarterfinal match of the tournament. During the game, new top additions Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Ruben Neves worked together to score a goal, and then Salem Al Dawsari scored a penalty kick to make it 2-0 in their favor. However, despite Romarinho's attempt to put one back for Al Ittihad, new forward Malcolm scored his first goal for this team, giving them a 1-3 lead. This was Malcolm's debut game playing for this squad. Despite the fact that Al Hilal has already won two games in a row, they will consider this encounter another must-win, and in order to do so, they will need to perform at their very best.

Although Al Shabab did not play particularly well against Al Wahda, they should be satisfied with how things turned out for them given the outcome of the match. Due to the fact that Iago was shown a red card so early on in the match against Al Wahda (in the 27th minute), this team was forced to play in a defensive manner, which resulted in the first half of the match ending without a goal being scored. The performance during the second half was exactly the same as the performance during the first half, and it also finished without a goal being scored. In the meantime, Al Shabab performed an excellent job of advancing to the semifinals by prevailing in their quarterfinal encounter on penalties. They were successful with all five of their attempts at the goal, whereas Al Wahda's success depended on a missed penalty kick by Fares Jumaa. Going into this encounter, Al Shabab had not yet tasted defeat in any of their previous seven matches across all competitions.

Due to the fact that both sides have legitimate chances of coming out on top, this game promises to be both exciting and challenging. Despite the fact that Al Shabab have been having a strong run, it is essential to keep in mind that the level at which they are now operating cannot be compared to that of Al Hilal. Therefore, the Al Hilal team should have a chance to get to the final if they are able to rediscover their rhythm in this encounter and be able to execute their game plan.
