Al-Ittihad vs Al-Hilal Prediction and Betting Tips | 11th April 2024

Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal lock horns at the Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium on Thursday in the Saudi Super Cup finals.

Karim Benzema-led Al-Ittihad are looking to retain the trophy they won last year and collect only their second medal in the competition.

Nadi Al-Watan reached this stage after beating Al-Wehda 2-1 in the semi-finals. Benzema and Abderazzak Hamdallah scored for them in the first half before Hussain Ahmed Al Eisa pulled one back for the visitors late in the game.

Al-Ittihad are now looking to join Al-Nassr as the only two sides to have won the cup in consecutive years.

However, standing in their way are Al-Hilal, the most successful club in the competition with three titles. The Blue Waves knocked out Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr in the last round, as their winning run extended to 33 games in all competitions.

The most in-form side in the world right now, the Riyadh outfit unsurprisingly enter the tie as the favorites to secure the title.
