Al Hilal vs Al Nassr Betting Tips - Al Hilal to Win

Placed first and second in the Saudi League, an intriguing Super Cup final can be expected with both teams in great form coming into Monday night´s showpiece event. 

Al Hilal are justified favourites with the reigning Saudi champions currently 12 points clear of Al Nassr and closing in on another league title. Now in possession of a remarkable 34 winning game sequence - a new world record - Jorge Jesus´s side have every reason to be confident of claiming the trophy. 

Incredibly, Al Hilal have won every match played since a 1:1 draw with Damak last September. Since then, Jesus´s side scored two goals or more in all but two of their 34 successive victories.

Given that stunning form, Al Nassr will need to be at their best if they are to make a strong fist of this final. Of course, with plenty of firepower, including the league's top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo, Al Nassr cannot be discounted. 

Luis Casto´s side are also in good form with four successive victories picked up since mid-March, including a resounding 8:0 win at Abha last week.

Previous meetings between these sides have, as you might expect, largely favoured Al Hilal. The Blue Waves have won five and lost only one of their last seven meetings since October 2021.

Ultimately, while I do expect a competitive contest on Monday, it's hard to back against a team that is looking to extend it´s world record win of runs. I'm backing Al Hilal to get their hands on more silverware with another Super Cup triumph on Monday.
