Al-Raed vs Al-Jabalain Prediction and Betting Tips | 6th January 2025

Al-Raed take on second-tier Al-Jabalain at the Al Raid Club Stadium on Monday for their quarter-final clash in the 2024-25 King's Cup of Champions. The Buraidah outfit are looking to put their Saudi Pro League struggles behind them and restore some normalcy in their campaign with a win.

On the cup front, it's been good for them so far. Odair Hellmann's side overcame Jeddah 2-0 in the last 32 courtesy of goals from Mohamed Fouzair and Karim El Berkaoui. They then beat Al-Najma 1-0 in the round of 16, this time through a strike from Saleh Al-Amri.

For the first time in the competition this season, Raed Al Tahadi play a King's Cup game on home turf, and anything but a victory would be considered a failure. Head coach Hellmann is likely to field a strong XI with all key players involved, hoping to avoid a third consecutive loss in official games.

Meanwhile, Al-Jabalain are unbeaten in their last three games, winning twice. Their most recent outing even resulted in a narrow 1-0 win over Al Jandal in the Saudi First Division League.

In the cup games this season, the side have looked sharp and menacing upfront, seeing off Al-Fateh 2-0 in the round of 32 before ousting Steven Gerrard's Al-Ettifaq with a stunning 3-1 win. That victory truly showed what the Browns are capable of, and they come into Monday's game motivated for more of the same.


Al-Raed vs Al-Jabalain Head-To-Head and Key Numbers

  • This will be the first official encounter between the sides in history.
  • Al-Raed have won both their games in the King's Cup this season while keeping clean sheets: 2-0 vs Jeddah and 1-0 vs Al-Najma (both away).
  • Al-Jabalain have scored five goals in two cup games so far this season, both at home.
  • The Browns are unbeaten in their last three official games, while Al-Raed have lost their last two and four of their last five.

Al-Raed vs Al-Jabalain Prediction

Al-Raed might be the favorites on paper but their visitors are no pushovers. Just ask Al-Ettifaq, who conceded thrice to them in the last round of the cup. This one could be more intense, with the home side pushed all the way before eventually winning on penalties.

Prediction: Al-Raed 2-2 (3-2 on penalties) Al-Jabalain
