Al Ittihad vs Al Okhdood Prediction

Al Ittihad do remain at the top-of-the-table as they seek to regain the Saudi Arabian title but the gap over Al Hilal has been cut to five points after the Jeddah-based outfit were held to a 1-1 draw away to Al Khaleej the other day with Dimitrios Kourbelis scoring a 96th minute penalty for Al Khaleej in that game. Al Okhdood most recently suffered a 3-1 defeat at home to fellow strugglers Al Fateh, meaning that they have now collected just one point in their last six matches as they sit firmly in the bottom three and the relegation places. Given that, as well as their home advantage, Al Ittihad are the firm favourites for this one and are expected to win this one quite comfortably.
