• Competition: AFC Champions League
• Date: Tuesday, 5th March 2024
• Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CET
• Venue: Kingdom Arena (Riyadh)

Intriguingly, a match between Al Hilal and Al Ittihad took place in the Saudi Arabian national league last Friday. Al Hilal showcased their brilliance once again, clinching a 3-1 victory. The team managed by Jorge Jesus had an xG of 2.16, significantly higher than Al Ittihad’s 0.27. If Al Hilal can replicate this performance on Tuesday, their chances of winning are likely high.

Currently, Al Hilal appears to be the best Asian team. They recently won 6-2 on aggregate against Sepahan in the AFC Champions League under the guidance of Jorge Jesus. In the Saudi Professional League, they are leading the table, with a nine-point advantage over the runner-up, Al Nassr. Moreover, Al Hilal has achieved an exceptional streak of 25 consecutive victories in all competitions.

Despite Al Ittihad’s lofty aspirations for this season, they currently sit fifth on the table after 22 national league rounds, trailing league leader Al Hilal by 25 points. Although their chances of securing the national league trophy are slim, Karim Benzema and his team remain hopeful for a significant victory in the AFC Champions League. Their hopes are buoyed by their recent defeat of Navbahor Namangan in the previous round.
