In this second encounter of the Arab Cup quarter-finals, we are witnessing an anticipated showdown between Al Ittihad and Al Hilal. The curtain rises on this epic clash between two Saudi teams at the King Fahd Stadium.
A Shared Past, Fresh Stakes
Al Hilal and Al Ittihad, two familiar names in the Saudi league, share a common history. However, recent confrontations have predominantly favored the Blues and Whites, under the guidance of Jorge Jesus, who have dominated Benzema’s teammates and his squad. In the five most recent face-offs, Al Hilal has emerged victorious four times, only conceding a draw against Al Ittihad.
Nevertheless, the dynamics have shifted since the summer. As the reigning champions of the 22/23 season, Al Ittihad has significantly strengthened its squad by attracting talents like Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kanté, Jota, and Fabinho, to name a few. These elite players will be joined by the top scorer of the previous Saudi Premier League season, Abderrazack Hamdallah.
An Impressive Journey
Their journey in the Arab Cup, with three consecutive victories in the group stage, speaks volumes about their current form. The Tigers, led by Benzema and Abderrazack Hamdallah, pose a threat to any defense. Benzema, the current recipient of the Ballon France Football award, leads the tournament’s top scorers’ list with three goals and one assist, while Hamdallah has contributed with a goal and an assist.
