Al Ettifaq vs Al Ahli Prediction
Al Ettifaq come into this one on the back of a much-needed 3-0 demolition of Damak the other day. After a bright start to the campaign, they have struggled quite badly with Gerrard reportedly close to being sacked for a while now. However, they defeated Damak thanks to a brace from Moussa Dembele as well as a goal scored by Vitinho. They face an Al Ahli side that are one of the so-called ‘big four’ in the Pro League with hefty transfer fees spent in the last couple of seasons but they have now taken the decision to sack former Red Bull Salzburg coach Matthias Jaissle with Massimiliano Allegri expected to be announced in time to get into the dugout for this one and a new manager bounce in which they grind out another victory would appear a good bet for this one.
