Al Ittihad vs Al Najma prediction
Sergio Conceicao has improved Al Ittihad since his appointment. However, the hosts have been struggling of late with a 2-2 draw against Al Fateh the other day meaning that it is now just one win in their last five matches in the Saudi Pro League.
They now face an Al Najma side that, following promotion to the top-flight last season, sit rock-bottom in the Saudi Arabian top-flight. They have failed to win any of their 18 games so far this season.
Al Ittihad should come out on top here, especially with home advantage, but their own average form should mean it is not too straightforward for Conceicao’s outfit.
