Command Analysis

Al-Tai Hail

Current form
The end of last season was extremely disappointing for Al-Tai. The team failed to maintain its place in the top division, finishing second to last in the table and falling just two points behind the safe zone. Everything was decided in the last round, where the hosts lost to their direct competitor, Al-Ahdud (0:2).
The season in the First Division did not start well for the club either. In the first four rounds, they managed to win only one game, but then the situation evened out. In the last three matches, the club won two games and drew one game, which allowed them to rise to sixth place, which allows them to fight for a place in the playoffs in the Premier League. In the previous stage of the King Cup, the team managed to beat Al-Khaleej, scoring three goals in extra time (5:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with their squad ahead of the cup match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The hosts have not lost in their last four matches
- The club has not conceded a single goal in the last two matches
Tentative line-up : Al-Baqaawi - Qasim, Ainakhli, Vaeshi, Al-Faraj - Al-Juwaid - Al-Harthi, Tandia, Banda, Kordea - Tawamba

Al Hilal

Current form
But for Al-Hilal, the last season was a triumph. The team won the second consecutive Saudi Arabian championship title, beating its main competitor Al-Nasr by 14 points, and also won the country cup, beating the same Al-Nasr in the final in a penalty shootout.
The current season is also going well for the current champion. The team is in first place in the national championship, three points ahead of Al-Ittihad. In addition, the visitors have already won three victories in the Champions League, beating Al-Rayan (1:0), Al-Shorta (5:0) and Al-Ain (5:4). In the previous stage of the cup, the club managed to beat Al-Bukairiya (1:0).

2.47Tip and bets
It is obvious to everyone that the visitors are unlikely to miss out on a win in this match. The only question is how big a win Al-Hilal will have. The visitors have a rather busy schedule, they have to compete in three tournaments at once, so clearly not all the main players will be involved in the cup match. In the previous stage, they won with a minimal advantage. We believe that this time there may well be a similar result. The hosts have gained good form in recent matches and can impose some competition on the current champion.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (+2.5) on Al-Tai for 1.78
Bet on total
In face-to-face matches, teams do not like to sit in their penalty area, the opponents prefer open football. This match should not be an exception. Let bet that the opponents will score at least four times with their combined efforts.
Forecast - total over 3.5 goals. You can place such a bet for 2.20
Bet on corners
If the opponents play on opposite courses, then we will certainly see a lot of serves from the corner flag.
Forecast - total over 10.5 corners. The odds offered for such an event are 1.75
