Al Hilal and Al Nassr are set to meet for the third time this season, facing off in the Saudi Super Cup semis. The teams will put aside their Saudi Pro League aspirations, where they are separated by 12 points. Al Hilal have the advantage in the league, being top. Here they will be seeking to reclaim the Super Cup, won by Al Ittihad last season. Al Hilal are enjoying top form, and are in contention for a treble having also advanced to the Champions League semis. Coming into this game, Al Hilal are in top form, having won each of their last 32 matches. The last time they lost a competitive game was in August 2023, and it was against their Monday opponents. That came in extra time in the Arab Champions Cup. In this game, Al Hilal will be defending a 40-game undefeated run in competitive action. In their last match before leaving for Abu Dhabi, Al Hilal claimed a 4-1 away win at Al Khaleej. That was the third straight game in which they scored at least three goals.

The last time Al Nassr beat Al Hilal, Cristiano Ronaldo netted a brace to complete a stunning comeback in a 2-1 win. Al Nassr did all that despite having two men sent off. Ronaldo has scored eight times in the last five matches and he will shoulder Al Nassr’s hopes going into this game. They are coming from four straight wins, which will inspire them in this tough encounter. Their most recent outing was however labored, with Aymeric Laporte scoring the all-important goal in a 1-0 win over Damak. Against Al Hilal, they will be prepared to go all the way again, as it hasn’t been easy in recent meetings. Al Nassr haven't conceded in their last three away matches, winning all. They will hope this run inspires them to revenge the 3-0 loss to Al Hilal in their last meeting. That game too, had a man sent off, this time Al Hilal’s Ali Al Bulayhi. Four red cards have been flashed in the last four meetings between these teams.
