The Kingdom Arena will see two sides in impressive form meet, with Al Hilal hosting Ittihad Jeddah in a matchup that carries weight at the upper reaches of the Professional League.

Both teams arrive with momentum, but the subtle differences in recent performances and tactical setups suggest a hard-fought, competitive encounter.

Recent History

Al Hilal have built a formidable record at home against Ittihad Jeddah, remaining undefeated in their last 10 at Kingdom Arena against this opponent, with 6 wins and 4 draws. This long streak highlights their ability to turn home advantage into results.

When broadening the lens to the last 20 meetings, Al Hilal have also enjoyed multiple victories by 2 or more goals (8 times), which establishes a narrative of home dominance, especially in high-stakes scenarios.

Recent Form

Across their last 6 fixtures in all competitions, Al Hilal boast 5 wins and just 1 loss, scoring an average of 3.17 goals and conceding only 0.5 per match. Their attack has been prolific and their defense tight, with an average of 20.67 shots per game and ball control averaging 58.33%.

Interestingly, Al Hilal’s last 3 home matches offer a slightly less dominant picture, with 2 victories and 1 defeat (2.33 scored and 1.33 conceded per game), suggesting occasional lapses but still a strong overall profile.

Ittihad Jeddah’s form is equally robust, going unbeaten in all 6 of their latest matches with 5 wins and 1 draw. Averaging 1.83 goals scored and 0.83 conceded, they have managed to tighten up defensively while spreading their goal threat. Their last 3 away outings reflect this, with 2 wins and a draw, conceding just 0.33 goals per match on average.

Main Trends

Al Hilal’s broader data reveals sustained quality: 67% wins over their past 30 in all competitions, with an average 2.43 goals scored and just 0.73 conceded. They have been undefeated in 19 of their last 20 home league matches, showing plenty of steel in Riyadh.

On their own turf in the Professional League, Al Hilal have claimed 75% wins in their last 20, scoring 2.4 on average and keeping possession at 60.05%. The ability to win big is also there—60% of their last 15 home league victories have come by 2 or more goals.

Ittihad Jeddah may be underdogs on paper, but their away form demands respect. They haven't lost in 8 of their last 10 away games and have kept clean sheets 4 times. In league play, they have won half of their last 20 on the road and are undefeated in 80% of their last 15.

Current streaks also favor Ittihad Jeddah’s recent resilience: they’ve not been beaten in their last 9 matches across all competitions, winning their last 3, and showing an uptick in attacking threat with 2.33 goals per match in those games.

Overall Performance

Al Hilal’s collective performance in all competitions is underpinned by strong attacking output, measured control, and increasingly reliable defense. Their ability to create dangerous attacks (58.3 per match over the last 30) complements their ball retention and finishing prowess.

Ittihad Jeddah’s recent improvement is reflected in more dangerous attacks per game and a measured approach that has seen them improve in key away contests, especially defensively.
