The previous meeting between the two sides ended in a draw.
Al Ittihad are all set to lock horns with Al Qadsiah in the Saudi King’s Cup 2024-25 final fixture. The high-stakes club contest between the two sides will take place at the Al Inma Bank Stadium at King Abdullah Sport City.
Al Ittihad have already been crowned as the Saudi Pro League 2024-25 champions. Now they have a chance to win the second silverware of the season. They have already faced Al Qadsiah twice this season.
They are unbeaten against them. Karim Benzema and Co. are in good form, which will be a big add-on for them.
Al Qadsiah are winless against the Tigers this season. Al Qadsiah have had a decent season but fell short of winning the Saudi league title. They also failed to secure a spot in the AFC Champions League Elite for the upcoming season.
The team finished in fourth place on the league table. Al Qadsiah have come up with some good performances this season and might even come up with another one here in the Saudi King’s Cup final.
