Ittihad Jeddah vs Qadisiya Khubar (30-06-2025) – Preview, Head to Head Stats, Prediction and Betting Tips.

With the Saudi Pro League season wrapped up, all eyes now shift to King Abdullah Sports City as Al Ittihad face Al Qadsiah in the King’s Cup final on May 30. For Ittihad, it’s a chance to cap off their campaign with a domestic double. For Qadsiah, it’s a shot at a first-ever cup triumph.

Team Form

Al Ittihad come into the final in fine shape, having edged Damac 1-0 in their final league fixture. That result marked their sixth consecutive win in the Saudi Pro League, a run that featured victories over Al Ettifaq, Al Fayha, and title rivals Al Nassr. It’s been a clinical finish to the season for Marcelo Gallardo’s side.

Meanwhile, Al Qadsiah suffered a 2-0 defeat away at Al Hilal in their final league outing. That result snapped a seven-match unbeaten streak, but the club’s recent wins over Al Nassr, Al Wehda, and Al Taawoun prove they are more than capable of rising to the occasion.

Stats and Trends

Al Ittihad’s record in the King’s Cup is solid, having gone unbeaten in seven of their last eight matches in the competition. They’ve won three of their previous four ties, and goals have been a theme—six of their last seven King’s Cup matches have seen over 2.5 goals, while both teams have found the net in three of the last five.

Qadsiah, for their part, have claimed four straight wins in the King’s Cup, though just five wins in their last ten suggest inconsistency. Like Ittihad, their cup fixtures tend to be lively, with three of their last four producing over 2.5 goals.

Interestingly, Al Ittihad are unbeaten in their last five meetings with Al Qadsiah, winning four, including their most recent cup clash.

Injuries and Players to Watch

Al Ittihad may have to cope without goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic and striker Saleh Al Shehri, both of whom are injury doubts. Still, the depth in their squad has proven effective throughout the season, especially in attack.

Al Qadsiah appear to be in better shape physically. With no fresh injuries reported, manager Michel could unleash Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang alongside Julian Quinones in a bold attacking setup.

Prediction

The recent form of Al Ittihad and their strong head-to-head record makes them favourites going into this final. However, Al Qadsiah have proven they can spring surprises, especially in the King’s Cup.

Expect goals from both sides, but it’s hard to look past Ittihad’s momentum and experience. Back the league champions to lift the cup and complete a memorable domestic double.
