Al Orubah vs Al Ettifaq Prediction
Al Orubah come into this one on the back of an impressive 2-1 defeat of a strong Al Nassr side in their most recent outing last weekend to continue their strong run of form. They have now enjoyed four victories in their last five matches as they push away from the bottom three and the relegation places. Since sacking Steven Gerrard, Al Ettifaq have been much-improved of late with the visitors’ 1-1 draw against Al Raed last week meaning they have suffered just one defeat in their six matches since the departure of Gerrard. These are two in-form sides and both teams scoring would therefore appear a good bet.
Al Orubah vs Al Ettifaq Tip: Both teams to score
