Al Ittihad vs Al Ettifaq prediction

Having won the Saudi Arabian title last season, Al Ittihad have underperformed in the defence of that league title this season. However, now with former Porto manager Sergio Conceicao at the helm, have been much-improved of late in the Pro League.

They now face an Al Ettifaq side that begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting tucked inside the top-half of the table. The visitors have also been in good form but they come into this one on the back of a 2-1 defeat at home to Al Khaleej.

Al Ittihad had been on a five-match winning streak before a recent 1-1 draw with Damak the other day but the Jeddah-based outfit should get themselves back on track here.
