Al Ittihad vs Al Ettifaq Prediction & Tips
Al Ittihad have been top of the Saudi Pro League for some time now. However, with just a few weeks to go before the end of the season, they are still not guaranteed the title. The team coached by Laurent Blanc has won just 2 of its previous 7 league matches. They are now just 4 points clear of Al-Hilal (2nd). They need to bounce back quickly in this final sprint. In front of their fans, they are very difficult to break down. And that’s just as well, since Al-Ittihad will be playing at home on Matchday 29 of the Saudi Pro League. They welcome Al-Ettifaq to King Abdullah Sports City this Monday at 8pm.
As the season draws to a close, Al-Ettifaq have little left to play for. They are in 7th position in the table. They are already 10 points off the top 6. Saad Al Shehri’s men are coming off a 1-0 win over Al Riyadh. Before that, however, they had gone almost 3 games without a win. It will therefore be no easy task for them to continue that run at Al Ittihad. Even so, the home side have won 13 of their last 14 Saudi Pro League games. They will not want to take their foot off the pedal this Monday.
