the answer is of course that Al Hilal will try to get the title there because this very strong performance will be put to good use to get the title in the SPL and even in the AFC Champions League.
Ittihad has a very slim chance of beating Al Hilal, while we don't need to bother betting on the match between the two teams in the AFC competition because before the AFC Champions League match starts, these two teams will meet to compete for 3 points in the SPL and from these results we We can already predict how Ittihad will look, which will have difficulty beating Al Hilal.
I have never had bad thoughts about Ittihad but for this season it is very impossible for any team to beat Al Hilal unless this team makes a serious mistake in causing 1 defeat but for the time being Al Hilal remains the favorite.
But for this season it seems that Al Hilal will try to target winning the AFC Champions League title, they are already at the top of the standings in the SPL with points which are quite safe so they can focus on other competitions.
Al Hilal vs Ittihad will take place at the beginning of March and there are still two SPL matches remaining, however the two will meet first in the SPL match after Al Hilal against Al Ettifaq.
I think Al Hilal will be able to gain an advantage by winning the three matches they will face Ittihad.
You are right because Al Hilal is in very good condition, initially I thought Al Nassr would be strong competitor but they also couldn't beat Al Hilal.
