At 02:00 a.m. Beijing time on May 2, 2024, the semifinals of the Saudi King's Cup will be contested, and Riyadh Victory, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, will face Khalij at home. The match will be streamed live from the Live Bar. Fans and friends who like Cristiano Ronaldo, don't miss this game. Below I will bring you an analysis of the events for this match.
Riyadh Victory, which is playing at home, with the support of the Saudi Public Fund, has successively introduced players from Cristiano Ronaldo and Mane who have won the championship in Europe's top five leagues. However, Riyadh Victory is currently nine points behind Riyadh Crescent in the standings and has little hope of winning the title. And in the previous AFC Champions League knockout round, Riyadh Victory was eliminated by Al Ain, who advanced to the final. So the Saudi King's Cup became Riyadh's victory, the last title glory that can be chased this season. Riyadh, playing at home, is full of desire to fight. The two sides met once in the league this Sunday, with Riyadh Victory winning by a narrow goal away from home. In terms of personnel, Brazilian striker Talisca, who played for Guangzhou, will miss the semi-final of the Saudi Copa del Rey due to injury.
Away from home, Calij are currently ranked 11th in the Saudi league, and from the rankings, Calij is in a state of wantlessness. Unlike the star-studded Riyadh victory, Calij doesn't have any big names and is slightly inferior in terms of overall strength. And Calij's recent form has declined, and after losing to Riyadh Victory, they have a poor record of one draw and two defeats in the last three league games.
In terms of head-to-head records, in the last 6 meetings between the two sides, Riyadh won with a record of 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, occupying an overwhelming advantage in head-to-head data. And having just beaten the opponent in the league, the psychological advantage is also quite obvious. Therefore, in this game, I personally believe that Riyadh Victory can successfully advance to the final with the help of home advantage.
