Preview: Al Hilal vs Al Ittihad
League leaders Al Hilal host Al Ittihad at the Kingdom Arena on February 21, 2026, for a high-stakes "Saudi El Clasico". Al Hilal enters the match in dominant form, sitting atop the Saudi Pro League with 53 points from 21 matches and remaining unbeaten on home soil with nine wins and two draws. The hosts have been prolific, scoring 55 goals while conceding only 18, and they come off a recent 2-0 victory against Al Ettifaq. However, manager Jorge Jesus faces selection concerns as key forward Malcom and defender Yusuf Akcicek are both doubtful due to injuries. Despite these potential absences, Al Hilal's consistent defensive partnership of Kalidou Koulibaly and Hassan Al-Tambakti remains a formidable barrier for any opponent.

Al Ittihad, currently in sixth place with 37 points, arrives in Riyadh seeking to disrupt Al Hilal’s perfect home record. Under the guidance of Sérgio Conceição, the Tigers have adopted an aggressive counter-attacking style that has yielded four wins in their last five matches across all competitions, including a convincing 4-1 AFC Champions League win over Al-Sadd. The fixture carries extra emotional weight as Karim Benzema is set to lead the line for Al Hilal against his former side following a recent deadline-day move. Al Ittihad also faces injury challenges, with Abdulrahman Al-Obood, Faisal Al-Ghamdi, and Saad Al-Mousa all expected to miss the encounter. While historical head-to-head records favor Al Hilal—with seven wins in the last ten meetings—Al Ittihad’s recent resurgence suggests they will pose a significant threat to the league leaders.
