Al Hilal vs Al Ittihad prediction

Simone Inzaghi and his Al Hilal side have managed 16 victories with five draws in their 21 matches as they sit just above Al Ahli on goal difference ahead of this one. They managed to defeat Al Wahda in the AFC Champions League the other day.

Al Ittihad have tripped up throughout this season with defending champions underperforming, despite a slight improvement under former Porto boss Sergio Conceicao, who was appointed earlier on this season.

Al Ittihad, as is the way of Conceicao, will try and make this awkward and difficult but Al Hilal have to remain favourites for one of the biggest games in Saudi Arabian football.
