Game Prediction
The Champions League continues in parallel in both Asia and Europe. Speaking about the first tournament, the semi-finalists are being already determined, and Tuesday evening will be pretty exciting there. After all, both couples represent the clubs from the same country. First, Korean Ulsan Hyundai will compete with Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors. And then Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal will struggle for a place in the 1/2 confrontation. Which Saudi team is more worthy of success? The editors of the website have published a prediction for the decisive match on March 12, 2024.
Al-Ittihad can be successful only in this tournament
“The Tigers” lived up to their lofty nickname by winning the national championship in the previous season. This is the ninth such success, but the first one since 2009. The club was clearly determined to maintain the lead, but obviously missed the bet on Benzema as the main reinforcement a year ago. Karim started off well, but he had moved his activity off the field, essentially becoming an expensive burden, by winter. As a result, the team left the Pro League leaders – nowadays, there is no chance even of a place in the top 3. As for the Champions League, the club at least managed to overcome the group stage and knock out, albeit with difficulty, Navbahor: a goalless draw on the away field was followed by a home victory thanks to an own goal in the 87th minute of the game. Still, the first quarter-final, when playing in the minority, resulted in a 0-2 failure.
Al-Hilal is the most powerful club of the country
“The Leaders” are rightfully considered one of the strongest clubs in the country (they won the gold medals 18 times) and even on the continent (they won the Asian Champions League for the fourth time in 2021). Still, the previous season brought only 3rd place. Jorge Jesus, an experienced coach who has won a lot, but often fails, was entrusted with returning to the top. At the same time, the management spent money on newcomers, however, Neymar, having received a serious injury, did not really play. To tell the truth, the team, even without the Brazilian footballer, shows almost perfect statistics at the inner arena, leading in the matter. Speaking about the Champions League, the Saudis, having overcome the group stage, left no chance for Sepahan, winning twice with the same 3-1 score.
