Prediction Al Ittihad vs Al Hilal 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Pro League on 24/10/2025

Preview: A Riyadh-Jeddah clash with momentum on the road

When Al Ittihad welcome Al Hilal to the Alinma Stadium in Jeddah on 24 October 2025, the fixture feels like a collision of contrasting rhythms. Al Ittihad arrive off a rollercoaster of results — capable of eye-catching wins such as the 4-1 victory away to Al Shorta in the AFC Champions League Elite, but also raw in defense at times, having conceded seven goals across five league fixtures and posting a mixed domestic form that reads W-D-L-L-W. The home crowd of 64,200 will hope for the attacking verve that has yielded 11 goals so far in the season, yet the defensive fragility has been a recurring theme.

Al Hilal, on the other hand, travel with an aura of ruthlessness and consistency. Undefeated in the league through five outings, they carry an imposing goal return — 15 strikes and just six conceded — and recent continental form that includes a convincing 3-1 win over Al Sadd. Statistically, Al Hilal dominate the shot metrics with 92 total shots and 43 on target across their fixtures, underlining an offensive depth that has repeatedly punished opponents. Their domestic run of eight wins and two draws in the latest sequence speaks to a team that can control matches both on and off the ball.

Tactical feel and what the numbers say

The statistical narrative points toward an open, attack-minded contest. Al Hilal’s numbers scream volume: high shot totals, a strong conversion of chances, and an over-2.5 frequency sitting at 80% in their recent matches. Al Ittihad are no slouches offensively either; their matches have seen goals and they’ve averaged a healthy number of shots inside the box. Dangerous attacks and attacking averages are close enough that both teams are likely to probe and commit men forward. The gulf in defensive consistency, however, tilts the balance in Al Hilal’s favour—clean sheets and fewer concessions underpin their undefeated league run.

Recent head-to-head history isn’t available in the data provided, so the judgment must rest on current form, match context and the raw metrics. Playing at Alinma Stadium gives Al Ittihad home comfort, yet Al Hilal’s continental and domestic momentum suggests they have the temperament to overcome away challenges.

Betting suggestion

Based on the attacking profiles and the strong tendency for both sides to produce goals in recent fixtures, the best market to target is the goal market. Back Over 2.5 goals. The combination of Al Hilal’s prolific scoring record and Al Ittihad’s willingness to push forward, alongside high shot volumes and recent multi-goal results for both clubs, makes Over 2.5 a compelling play for this encounter.
