Al Hilal vs Al Ittihad Betting Tips: AL HILAL TO WIN

This will be the second meeting between the two sides this season, with the reverse fixture going in favor of Al Hilal, who stormed to a dominant 3-1 victory and will look to stretch their winning run over Al Ittihad to nine H2Hs here.

Winners of the last two editions of the King's Cup, the Blue Waves will look to edge closer to another final appearance in this prestigious competition, using their dominant form at Kingdom Arena, where they can proudly highlight a masterful 33-game winning streak at home.

In the previous round of this tournament, Al-Hilal's rotating squad breezed past second-tier outfit Al Taee with a devastating 4-1 win, but here, it’s expected that coach Jorge Jesus will bring back all of his European stars due to the weight of the upcoming clash.

On their part, Al-Ittihad head into Tuesday’s high-profile clash in red-hot form, riding a wave of 12 consecutive wins across all competitions, which has been a fantastic response to their defeat to Al Hilal in the Saudi top flight on September 21.

That triumphant run includes King's Cup successes by the Yellow-Blacks who first saw off Al Ain with three unanswered goals before knocking out Al Jandal 2-0, but their record at Kingdom Arena doesn't make for pleasant reading as their last win over Al Hilal here was back in 2016.

Considering both teams feature high-caliber attackers, a goal-fest is on the horizon, but in such a scenario, we expect the Blue Waves to once again showcase their potential and hand Benzema and co. their ninth defeat in Riyadh, securing a place in the final-four for the fourth consecutive time.
