Al-Ittihad reached the quarterfinals by eliminating Al-Nassr in the previous round, aiming to defend last season’s title. Al-Shabab advanced past Al-Zulfi in the round of 16, though recent form under coach Imanol Alguacil may raise concerns for the squad.

Punchline 1: If this game were a sniper, the goal would be to hit the back of the net before the crowd even finishes a hot dog. Punchline 2: My prediction for the winner? A perfect shot from the fans who forgot their snacks and started shouting faster than the ball.
