Al Okhdood vs Al Ittihad prediction
Under the management of Paulo Sergio, Al Okhdood will likely be among the teams most looking over their shoulder at the relegation battle in the Saudi Pro League this season. In the 2024/25 campaign, they managed to stay up and avoid the bottom three and the relegation places on the final day of the season.
They now face an Al Ittihad side that, under the management of Laurent Blanc, managed to win the Saudi Arabian title with an eight-point gap over previous champions Al Hilal last season. Captained by Karim Benzema, the Jeddah-based outfit boast the likes of Fabinho, N’Golo Kante, Moussa Diaby and Houssem Aouar as well.
Al Ittihad will be expected to simply pick up where they left off from last season, and that will involve a comfortable victory on the opening day of the season this weekend.
