Two giants of Saudi football, Al Hilal and Al Nassr, are gearing up for a high-stakes showdown in the King Cup final at the prestigious King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah.

The 2023-24 season witnessed a spirited rivalry between these two teams, with Al Hilal ultimately clinching the league title after an impressive unbeaten run and finishing 14 points clear of Al Nassr on the league table.

Al Hilal has dominated the recent encounters between the two clubs, registering three wins and a draw in their last four meetings, including victories in both league fixtures this season and a triumph in a mid-season friendly.

In the Saudi Super Cup this season, Al Hilal outclassed Al Nassr in the semi-finals, with Al Nassr’s star player, Cristiano Ronaldo, receiving a red card in a 2-1 defeat.

Ronaldo, who shone in the Arab Club Champions Cup finals last August with a match-winning brace, will be aiming to replicate his stellar performance in the King’s Cup final to lead Al Nassr to victory.

In the overall head-to-head record, Al Hilal holds a commanding lead with 39 wins against Al Nassr’s 18 victories out of a total of 75 matches played between the two sides.
