Al Ettifaq vs Al Hilal Prediction
Al Ettifaq come into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw with high-flying Al Qadsiah in their most recent outing, last weekend. The home team have now suffered just one defeat in their last six matches since the aforementioned departure of Gerrard. They now face an Al Hilal side that are five points adrift of league leaders Al Ittihad due to their fifth defeat of the campaign last weekend following a season in which they won the league without losing a single match. Given their poor form as well as having to go away from home against a side seeking to finish with a flourish, it could well be a good bet for Al Ettifaq this weekend.
Al Ettifaq vs Al Hilal Tip: Double chance – Al Ettifaq to win or draw
