Referring to match data statistics, Cristiano Ronaldo did not really have a positive contribution or impact in this match. In fact, Ronaldo was given a red card in the 86th minute. Looking at the progress of the match, Al Hilal had more control over ball possession, as well as in terms of opportunities. Al Hilal had 19 total shots, 8 on target, 6 big chances, 1 shot hit the goalpost. Meanwhile, Al Nassr does not have as many opportunities as Al Hilal. even though in this match, Mitrovic was not played due to his injury. but as I said, Al Hilal will win this match and have the right to advance to the final phase to meet Al Ittihad. Tactically, both teams have their own advantages which become their systems and patterns. However, it was a great shame that Ronaldo was unable to break into his rival team's goal.

In the first half, the match progressed with the score 0-0. Entering the second half, Al Dawsari opened the scoring for Al Hilal and Malcom followed not long after. Behind 2-0 Al Nassr had difficulty equalizing until finally in the 90+9 minute, Sadio Mane was able to reduce the defeat. but unfortunately, this goal was unable to change anything and became Al Hilal's victory in this semi-final match. In the end, Al Hilal was able to defeat Al Nassr again and had the right to qualify for the final round, which incidentally was the team that would be Al Ittihad's opponent. well, with this result, Al Hilal is still undefeated.

Cristiano Ronaldo could have a positive impact for sure in this game but I find Al-Hilal way better this season. I see two of Al-Hilal midfielders taking yellow cards, they should be more vigilant to avoid red cards which can turn down the expected victory of their team.
The winner of this game will face Al-Ittihad in the final match and seeing how Al-Ittihad playing, I assume the winner of this game will lift the Cup.
Al-Hilal are few steps only from being declared champion in Saudi Pro League and they shouldn't miss this opportunity to have two titles.

Yes, this will be an interesting match. Al Nassr must try to beat Al Hilal because 3 points is still important for them. But Al Hilal is already he champion of SPL this season, they actually doesn't really need to win the match. However, it is about a pride, Al Hilal mustn't expect to share points with Al Nassr, so they probably plays with their best. Well, each team has a reason to win but Al Nassr seems to have a bigger motivation. This match will be held in Al Nassr home, they won't let their fans to feel unsatisfied with the result of a home match.

Anyway, I think the previous meeting can't determine which team to win the next match. Even if Al Hilal is still undefeated, we can't underestimate Al Nassr. We all know they have good squad quality although they still failed to play as a solid team. Al Nassr is a strong but they still play inconsistenly. Meanwhile Al Hilal could play consistently until now.

Honestly, I predicted Al Nassr to win for the next match. I see they have a bigger motivation to win.

It is getting boring for Al Hilal, they have been beating all teams that comes their way and it seems like there is no  team that can Challenge them in the whole of Saudi Arabia. Al Nassr is the only team that can actually try to compete with them but they also have lost to them on different occasions but i believe they would want to make a difference this time around.

It will be an interesting game to watch, it would be full of amazing moments and also it could be full of goals as both teams are not defending teams. I also support Al Nassr in this game even though i know it would be difficult to win Al Hilal because their form in past games is too good as they have not lost or draw any match since September that’s 35 games run without a draw or loss.

I think the winner in this tie would likely be the winner in the final of the Super cup.

Actually, from the records shown here ,2022 -2024 even though I won't put into account the 2022 that Ronaldo hasn't yet joined Al Nassar, but from 2023, Al Hilal still has majority of wins ,well Everything is currently in their favor to still win this game tonight even judging base on their current forms and positions in the Saudi professional league table, however I don't know if the presence of Christiano Ronaldo would change our perception about this game tonight and we have Al Nassar winning in the end.

It will definitely be a big game, because this could very well be the only cup that Al Nassr could ever win, that seems like the most important thing, and if we end up with anything that is a little different, we can't really consider the situation any bigger deal. I believe that we can't make it change anyway we wish whenever we want to, that seems like the most important thing.

I believe that we can't really give Al Nassr credit for "just trying" this time, it is not possible, this is a win or go home type of deal and if they lose this one too, I would say the team needs a bigger overhaul than people think. They really really need to win this one, they MUST win this one, so they can at least take a cup back home, and say they have one for the season.

Al Hilal - Al Nassr

without a doubt that this will be a great game, on one side we have Al Hilal, a very strong team in defense and attack and who have gone 32 games without losing, the isolated leader of the league and who are very close to becoming champions and on the other side We have Al Nassr who has one of the best players in the world and has other good players, but they have had a very weak defense and sometimes a weak attack as well. the last time these two teams faced each other, Al Hilal managed to win without having too many difficulties. If we go back to the present day we will see something scary

in 2022:

Al Nassr 1 - 2 Al Hilal
Al Nassr 0 - 4 Al Hilal
Al Nassr 2 - 2 Al Hilal

in 2023:

Al Hilal 2 - 0 Al Nassr
Al Hilal 1 - 2 Al Nassr
Al Hilal 3 - 0 Al Nassr

in 2024:

Al Hilal 2 - 0 Al Nassr


From what I can see, Al Nassr has a big problem whenever they play against Al Hilal, I honestly see that also in this game, Al Nassr's chances of winning are very low, despite the bookmakers giving odds of 1.77 in case Al Hilal winning, I see it as a very good odds, because based on the history of these two teams, perhaps the odds should be at 1.20 if Al Hilal wins

---

AL Ittihad FC 2 - 0 AL Wehda FC

I believe that AL Ittihad FC will win the game, and Benzema was the guy who scored AL Ittihad FC's first goal, it's good to see that he's back to scoring goals

The Saudi Super Cup semi final game between Al Hilal and Al Nassr will take place tonight at the Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium and a lot of people are saying different things concerning the two clubs and why any of them deserves to come out top. For Al Nassr, it's a game they must win to get some bragging rights against Al Hilal this season because in all the time both teams met each other, Al Nassr have been defeated and that's why I think it'll be a total embarrassment for Al Nassr to lose that all important game.
Cristiano Ronaldo on several occasions this season have helped his Al Nassr team to record huge wins and in his last two games for the club, he's scored six goals but this game is the very game he must put in his best if he really wants to make a big name among the fans of his current club Al Nassr

Such actions do not suit a legendary football player like Ronaldo. Of course, he is also human and sometimes he may not be able to control himself. Sometimes we can ignore some behaviors.

It is very difficult to predict the outcome of the match between Al Nassr and Al Hilal. Both teams will go into this match very focused. because both teams will want to move on. I think Ronaldo and his teammates, who missed the opportunity to win the league cup, will play good football in this match.

Tomorrow a huge match between Al Nassr and Al Hilal is going to be played. This match is going to be the semifinal of the Saudi Super Cup.
You know, this match is going to be very important for Al Nassr because they are not going to win the Saudi Pro League. There is a huge difference in terms of points between these two teams in the Saudi Pro League.

So I think it makes a lot more sense for them to actually go really hard for the Saudi Super Cup, right?
I have no doubt that both of the teams are going to try their best to win this match. But the importance of winning is going to be more for Al Nassr.


Quote From: CNN News

I just hope that I do not see any weird weird gestures from Ronaldo by the way lol  .
After he did the 'thing' last time, I really wanted to defend him but I couldn't find a way to defend him, to be honest.
And this is also a chance for Al Nassr to actually get some kind of revenge against Al Hilal

Time and time again Al-Nassr couldn't win against Al-Hilal in the Saudi league and in a different competition like this they should be able to do something a little different. I'm still quite confident that Al-Hilal will beat Al-Nassr again in this semifinal, but I also don't rule out the possibility that Al-Nassr can reverse their existing advantage. Al-Nassr must maximize every opportunity they have and they must strengthen their defense.

We know that Al-Hilal's attack is much more organized with agile players and Al-Nassr is only filled with old star players. This is what makes the difference between these two teams quite significant in terms of attack and strong defense will be one of the determinants of victory. Al-Nassr must have self-respect and they should not repeatedly lament their defeat against Al-Hilal. My prediction may be different from yours and I think Al-Hilal is still reliable enough to win.

If you say they have Ronaldo in this match, don't they have him even when they lost against Al Hilal. The real problem with Al Nassr is not because they don't have Ronaldo, but rather because the teamwork is still not perfect in my opinion. Their attack line is good, the midfield can also work well, but when you look at the back line that is where their weakness lies this season because they are not playing solidly.

Al Nassr may be more motivated in this match, but make no mistake because Al Hilal will not just let them be beaten by Al Nassr, especially since Al Hilal's performance is still better than Al Nassr. I think this will be an interesting match, and we'll see whether Al Nassr can improve and cover their weaknesses, especially in the back line or not. Because if not, maybe they will suffer another defeat from Al Hilal in this match.

Al-Hilal has dominated the season. Numbers dont lie. But this game, its a whole different level for Al-Nassr. This is their make-or-break moment. You know what? They have Ronaldo. Say what you want about the guy, he's a winner. He's on fire recently, and Al-Nassr may need his enthusiasm to change things.

Al-Hilal's hard to crack. They play smartly, consistently. Honestly, Al-Nassr hasnt slept. They're relaxing and preparing their stars. For them, this is everything.

So yeah, I respect Al-Hilal's dominance. But gosh, I adore underdog stories. Al-Nassr has talent and hunger, so its time they showed it.

This match must be interesting, especially since this match determines whether we will qualify for the final round. unfortunately, Al Hilal had to lose Mitrovic due to an injury who had to be admitted to treatment in the next few weeks. however, Jorge Jesus still has other players he can rely on. unfortunately, in this match I don't have much information about Al Hilal's starting eleven. Maybe Jorge Jesus changed his pattern and system. or, rotate some of the players and still play Saleh Al-Shehri as a pure striker as their goal scorer. the rest, Jorge Jesus will play other mainstay players as usual.

As for Al Nassr, it is certain that Luis Castro will play his full core squad except for Talisca who is still absent due to injury. However, Ronaldo and his core colleagues will be used as the starting eleven in this match. So, let's just wait for this match to be held. Supposedly, this fight presents a very interesting and entertaining match.
referring to betting odds, Al Hilal is still the favorite. Al Hilal with odds @1.84, while Al Nassr with @3.30. My question is, will this match require extra time, or will Al Nassr be slaughtered by Al Hilal again. Nevertheless, I support Al Hilal to win.

Yes, this is a difficult match for Al Nassr, because they will face a team that has beaten them many times this season, clearly this is something very challenging for them. They have no other choice but to go all out in this match, because they have to win if they at least want to secure the title this season. They will go down with their best squad and they have been preparing for this since last week where they rested their main players a lot and only played them for a few minutes. So I think that's what they were preparing for this match.
This is the last chance for Al Nassr to beat Al Hilal this season, but in terms of opportunities Al Hilal is still better than Al Nassr, but that doesn't mean closing Al Nassr's chance, because their chance is still there. What they have to do is they have to be very focused in this match, they can't make mistakes, especially in their back line which has been their weak point this season.

It is last chance for Al-Nassr to rescue their failed season but with performances of both clubs in this season and recently, Al Nassr will still not have good chance to beat Al Hilal.

They can create a tight match against Al Hilal but final result might be another win for Al Hilal. It will be another pain for Al Nassr against their biggest competitor in this season. Al Nasrr will need to wait for the summer, transfer season, buy new players, restructure their team especially defensive power, before can compete with Al Hilal more equally next season.

This match will attract our attention we want to know who is the best and who will score, this season Al-Hilal dominated this big match by beating Al-Nassr twice but I think this time the situation is different because Al-Nassr doesn't have any chance to win any trophies except this one so Al-Nassr had a reason to fight until the last minute. I just checked the betting markets for this match and Al-Hilal is a bit of a favorite, I don't worry about what the betting markets offer because this match was played outside Saudi Arabia so there is no home team factor.

For this one I am sure I will bet on Al-Nassr winning because I see they have bigger ambitions. Indeed, this is not an easy match, it's just that I believe in Ronaldo who is on fire, after scoring hat-trick in 2 consecutive matches and I'm sure he wants to do it in this important match. what do you think about this fight? will these two teams play a draw or will Al-Hilal add to their winning streak?.

Finally, the two big clubs in Saudi Arabia will meet again in the semi-finals of the Saudi Super Cup, namely Al-Hilal, who are still undefeated, will face Al-Nassr, which also has the football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. I think it will be a match similar to a final. Because I'm sure many are looking forward to the meeting of these two teams again. I will of course support Al-Nassr. But I still doubt whether Al-hilal can be defeated by Al-Nassr this time or whether Al-hilal will defeat Al-Nassr again. I'm still hesitant to see which team will be the winner. It's just that I hope Al-Nassr can win this time.

Ittihad FC in the match against Al Taawon looked quite overwhelmed even though they had slight advantage in their attack efforts against Al Taawon, but all the opportunities they had failed to score goal.
This draw means that Ittihad FC still has the same points tally, namely 47 points and they only stay in 4th place or could be moved by Al Taawon because being able to occupy 3rd place is also difficult thing for Ittihad FC during the remaining matches.
Moreover, Al Taawon is not weak team and if Ittihad FC defense was not good enough then in that match Al Taawon could have won with the opportunities they had.

It seems like that good idea because when Al Taawon brings in some pretty great European players then it clearly adds to the quality of their performance.
In the future, they can definitely become one of the strong team that has the opportunity to win the SPL title, some of the top teams are currently performing well because of the presence of several European players.

A hard win for Ettifaq against al Riyadh, which is playing badly this season.



Ettifaq has only 3 shots on target from 12 total shots, which is so bad considering how weak Riyadh is now. Sometimes, I get bored seeing how this team is not even moving up. Gerrard is a flop, but Ettifaq tried to keep him even longer, which is very bad for the club.
It shows that no matter what league gerrard was coaching the club and he will always be a flop. It's hard to deny this since Ettifaq is also performing so badly, and it's unable to compete with other big clubs in the Saudi pro league.

I'm only willing to say Gerrard out! Even though Etifaq won with a narrow score, it gave a sweet reward to all of Etifaq's bettors. The way Ettifaq attacks its opponent does not represent the improvements made by Gerrard.
The gameplay of ettifaq still remains unstructured. This shall be concerned by him.
