Al Ettifaq vs Diriyah prediction
After starting with back-to-back victories, Al Ettifaq then succumbed to a 3-2 loss at home to defending champions Al Nassr the other day in a game in which they did lead 2-0 before Ange Postecoglou substituted Al Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo.
Following their promotion to the top-flight last season, Diriyah have started their campaign with a win, a draw and a defeat thus far. They have been competitive and awkward to play against, sharing a 1-1 draw with unbeaten Al Kholood the other day.
Diriyah will again aim to be awkward opponents for Al Ettifaq but the hosts appear much stronger this season and should be viewed as favourites for this one.
Al Ettifaq vs Diriyah tip: Al Ettifaq to win & under 3.5 goals
